  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. Mediation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediation_(statistics)

    Simple mediation model. The independent variable causes the mediator variable; the mediator variable causes the dependent variable. In statistics, a mediation model seeks to identify and explain the mechanism or process that underlies an observed relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable via the inclusion of a third hypothetical variable, known as a mediator ...

  5. Variable (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An independent variable is a variable that is not dependent. [19] 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 independent and the notation represents a function of three variables. On the other hand, if ...

  6. Two-way analysis of variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_analysis_of_variance

    In statistics, the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is an extension of the one-way ANOVA that examines the influence of two different categorical independent variables on one continuous dependent variable. The two-way ANOVA not only aims at assessing the main effect of each independent variable but also if there is any interaction between them.

  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. Path analysis (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_analysis_(statistics)

    That is, in tracing a path from a dependent variable to an independent variable, include the variance of the independent-variable except where so doing would violate rule 1 above (passing through adjacent arrowheads: i.e., when the independent variable also connects to a double-headed arrow connecting it to another independent variable).

  9. 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 ...
