  2. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

    Here the independent variable is the dose and the dependent variable is the frequency/intensity of symptoms. Effect of temperature on pigmentation: In measuring the amount of color removed from beetroot samples at different temperatures, temperature is the independent variable and amount of pigment removed is the dependent variable.

  3. Independence (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability...

    Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes.Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect the odds.

  4. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and...

    Then, "independent and identically distributed" implies that an element in the sequence is independent of the random variables that came before it. In this way, an i.i.d. sequence is different from a Markov sequence , where the probability distribution for the n th random variable is a function of the previous random variable in the sequence ...

  5. Variable (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(mathematics)

    An independent variable is a variable that is not dependent. [23] The property of a variable to be dependent or independent depends often of the point of view and is not intrinsic. For example, in the notation f(x, y, z), the three variables may be all

  6. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable (often called the outcome or response variable, or a label in machine learning parlance) and one or more error-free independent variables (often called regressors, predictors, covariates, explanatory ...

  7. Conditional independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_independence

    In that model, the random variables X 1, ..., X n are not independent, but they are conditionally independent given the value of p. In particular, if a large number of the X s are observed to be equal to 1, that would imply a high conditional probability , given that observation, that p is near 1, and thus a high conditional probability , given ...

  8. Argument of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_of_a_function

    The independent variables are mentioned in the list of arguments that the function takes, whereas the parameters are not. For example, in the logarithmic function f ( x ) = log b ⁡ ( x ) , {\displaystyle f(x)=\log _{b}(x),} the base b {\displaystyle b} is considered a parameter.

  9. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    The curve shows the estimated probability of passing an exam (binary dependent variable) versus hours studying (scalar independent variable). See § Example for worked details. In statistics, the logistic model (or logit model) is a statistical model that models the log-odds of an event as a linear combination of one or more independent variables.
