  2. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

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

    It is possible to have multiple independent variables or multiple dependent variables. For instance, in multivariable calculus, one often encounters functions of the form z = f(x,y), where z is a dependent variable and x and y are independent variables. [8] Functions with multiple outputs are often referred to as vector-valued functions.

  3. Function of several real variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_of_several_real...

    The implicit function theorem of more than two real variables deals with the continuity and differentiability of the function, as follows. [4] Let ϕ ( x 1 , x 2 , …, x n ) be a continuous function with continuous first order partial derivatives, and let ϕ evaluated at a point ( a , b ) = ( a 1 , a 2 , …, a n , b ) be zero:

  4. Simultaneous equations model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_equations_model

    Simultaneous equations models are a type of statistical model in which the dependent variables are functions of other dependent variables, rather than just independent variables. [1] This means some of the explanatory variables are jointly determined with the dependent variable, which in economics usually is the consequence of some underlying ...

  5. Linear predictor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_predictor_function

    An example is polynomial regression, which uses a linear predictor function to fit an arbitrary degree polynomial relationship (up to a given order) between two sets of data points (i.e. a single real-valued explanatory variable and a related real-valued dependent variable), by adding multiple explanatory variables corresponding to various ...

  6. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:

  7. Variable (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In the context of functions, the term variable refers commonly to the arguments of the functions. This is typically the case in sentences like "function of a real variable", "x is the variable of the function f : x ↦ f(x)", "f is a function of the variable x" (meaning that the argument of the function is referred to by the variable x).

  8. Biharmonic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biharmonic_equation

    Just as harmonic functions in 2 variables are closely related to complex analytic functions, so are biharmonic functions in 2 variables. The general form of a biharmonic function in 2 variables can also be written as Im ⁡ ( z ¯ f ( z ) + g ( z ) ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {Im} ({\bar {z}}f(z)+g(z))} where f ( z ) {\displaystyle f(z)} and ...

  9. Multivariate analysis of covariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_analysis_of...

    Here the dependent variable (and variable of most interest) was the annual mean sea level at a given location for which a series of yearly values were available. The primary independent variable was "time". Use was made of a "covariate" consisting of yearly values of annual mean atmospheric pressure at sea level.
