dependent variable
Definition
Factor or phenomenon that is changed by the effect of an associated factor or phenomenon called independent variable. For example, consumption is a dependent variable because it is caused and influenced by another variable income. In a mathematical equation or model, it is the variable whose value is to be determined by that equation or model. In an experiment, it is the variable whose behavior under controlled conditions (that are allowed to change in an organized manner) is studied.
