Partial regression analysis is a technique that allows researchers to examine the relationship between two variables while holding a third variable constant. In this case, age is held constant while examining the relationship between education and income. Multiple regression analysis also allows for the examination of the relationship between multiple independent variables and a dependent variable, but it does not necessarily hold other variables constant. Curvilinear regression is used when the relationship between two variables is not linear. Factor analysis is used to identify patterns in data and reduce the number of variables. Time-series analysis is used to analyze patterns in data over time. None of these techniques would be appropriate for examining the relationship between education and income with age held constant.
