About

Anscombe Regression

A Independent variable is a variable used in supervised analysis in order to predict an outcome variable.

It's also known as:

Independent variable

In statistics, a predictor is well known as an independent variable (IV). It does not depend of the experimentational procedure and is more generally:

  • a description of the characteristics of a group.
  • better known as the manipulation, the treatment or conditions.

Quasi-independent

A Quasi-independent variable is a variable that can not be random assigned (example: concussions, gender, Sexual orientation) .

Since the independent variable does not involve random and representative sampling, arguments about causality are not as strong

Type

Categorical

Some predictors are not quantitative but are qualitative, taking a discrete set of values.

These are also called:

Example:

  • gender,
  • student (student status),
  • status (marital status)
