Peer reviewedLeitner, Dennis W. – Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, 1978
A suppressor variable is a regressor in a multiple regression which contributes more to the squared multiple correlation than the magnitude of its simple correlation with the outcome variable. An example of such a situation is provided for teaching purposes. (JKS)
