  2. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

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

    A variable is considered dependent if it depends on an independent variable. Dependent variables are studied under the supposition or demand that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of ...

  3. Spreadsheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreadsheet

    Usually rows, representing the dependent variables, are referenced in decimal notation starting from 1, while columns representing the independent variables use 26-adic bijective numeration using the letters A-Z as numerals. Its physical size can usually be tailored to its content by dragging its height or width at box intersections (or for ...

  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. Probability-generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability-generating...

    Probability generating functions are particularly useful for dealing with functions of independent random variables. For example: For example: If X i , i = 1 , 2 , ⋯ , N {\displaystyle X_{i},i=1,2,\cdots ,N} is a sequence of independent (and not necessarily identically distributed) random variables that take on natural-number values, and

  6. Scatter plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scatter_plot

    The different variables are combined to form coordinates in the phase space and they are displayed using glyphs and coloured using another scalar variable. [ 1 ] A scatter plot , also called a scatterplot , scatter graph , scatter chart , scattergram , or scatter diagram , [ 2 ] is a type of plot or mathematical diagram using Cartesian ...

  7. Controlling for a variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling_for_a_variable

    For example, if an outdoor experiment were to be conducted to compare how different wing designs of a paper airplane (the independent variable) affect how far it can fly (the dependent variable), one would want to ensure that the experiment is conducted at times when the weather is the same, because one would not want weather to affect the ...

  8. Design matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_matrix

    The design matrix has dimension n-by-p, where n is the number of samples observed, and p is the number of variables measured in all samples. [4] [5]In this representation different rows typically represent different repetitions of an experiment, while columns represent different types of data (say, the results from particular probes).

  9. Plackett–Burman design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plackett–Burman_design

    Plackett–Burman designs are experimental designs presented in 1946 by Robin L. Plackett and J. P. Burman while working in the British Ministry of Supply. [1] Their goal was to find experimental designs for investigating the dependence of some measured quantity on a number of independent variables (factors), each taking L levels, in such a way as to minimize the variance of the estimates of ...
