  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...

    Independent: Each outcome will not affect the other outcome (for from 1 to 10), which means the variables , …, are independent of each other. Identically distributed : Regardless of whether the coin is fair (with a probability of 1/2 for heads) or biased, as long as the same coin is used for each flip, the probability of getting heads remains ...

  5. Bivariate analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivariate_analysis

    Graphs that are appropriate for bivariate analysis depend on the type of variable. For two continuous variables, a scatterplot is a common graph. When one variable is categorical and the other continuous, a box plot is common and when both are categorical a mosaic plot is common. These graphs are part of descriptive statistics.

  6. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    In the more general multiple regression model, there are independent variables: = + + + +, where is the -th observation on the -th independent variable.If the first independent variable takes the value 1 for all , =, then is called the regression intercept.

  7. 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

  8. Difference in differences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_in_differences

    The outcome (dependent) variable in both groups is measured at time 1, before either group has received the treatment (i.e., the independent or explanatory variable), represented by the points P 1 and S 1. The treatment group then receives or experiences the treatment and both groups are again measured at time 2.

  9. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    In the formula above we consider n observations of one dependent variable and p independent variables. Thus, Y i is the i th observation of the dependent variable, X ij is i th observation of the j th independent variable, j = 1, 2, ..., p. The values β j represent parameters to be estimated, and ε i is the i th independent identically ...
