- (variable estorbo) A random variable that is fundamental to the probabilistic model, but is not of particular interest in itself or is no longer of interest. For example, in a stochastic model, the use of intermediate variables that are not observed in practice can be conceptually defined. If the problem is to obtain the theoretical properties, such as the mean, variance and covariation of the quantities that are observed, the intermediate variables are nuisance variables.
