In ANCOVA, what happens when the covariate is not linearly related to the dependent variable?
The results of ANCOVA may be biased.
If the covariate is not linearly related to the dependent variable, ANCOVA may produce biased results. This is because one of the key assumptions of ANCOVA is that there is a linear relationship between the covariate and the dependent variable.
