...terms of x, then y is known as a dependent variable (and x is an independent variable). Statistics In a statistics experiment, the dependent variable is the event studied and expected to change whenever the independent variable is altered.[1] Modelling In mathematical modelling, the dependent variable is studied to see if and how much it varies as the independent variables vary. In the simple stochastic linear model the term is the i th value of the dependent variable and is i th value of the independent variable. The term is known as the "error" and contains the variability of the dependent variable not explained by the independent variable. With multiple independent variables, the expression is: , where n is the number of independent variables. Simulation In simulation, the dependent variable is changed in response to changes in the independent variables. Statistics Synonyms Independent variable An independent variable is also known as a "predictor variable", "regressor", "controlled variable", "manipulated variable", "explanatory variable", "exposure variable" (see reliability theory), "risk factor" (see medical statistics), "feature" (in machine learning and pattern recognition) or an "input variable."[2][3] "Explanatory variable" is preferred by some authors over "independent variable" when the quantities treated as "independent variables" may not be statistically independent.[4][5] Independent variable(s) may be of these kinds: continuous variable(s), binary/dichotomous...

...Won’t Go Forward With Debate By JEREMY W. PETERS Donald J. Trump has dropped plans to moderate a presidential debate, but don’t expect him to fade quietly from the political scene. In fact, Republicans may have gotten more than they bargained for by shunning him. Mr. Trump’s statement on Tuesday that he was bowing out of the Newsmax debate seemed certain to open the door to another round of “I just might …” threats from the real estate mogul. “It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama administration,” Mr. Trump said in his statement. “But if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an independent candidate.” Mr. Trump drew considerable criticism from the Republican establishment for moderating a presidential debate while openly saying that he might still run if he was displeased with the candidates. Rather than go ahead with the debate and declare that he will not run — Mr. Trump has flirted with running for president several times since the 1980s but has always decided not to follow through — he chose to drop the debate. “I must leave all of my options open because, above all else, we must make America great again!” he said. Mr. Trump was facing a potentially awkward task: moderating a debate that only two candidates said they would attend. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were the only two Republicans who agreed to participate...

...1. The Arla Company did a good job in overcoming potential barriers through this one-way communication method. This is evident in the way the company acknowledged that their local newspaper was responsible for the controversy and is in fact at fault, yet they are included to be blamed. They also agree and understand that the public have every right to feel offended and outraged by the newspaper’s actions. In addition, they also shared their opinion about the matter, clearly indicating that they are opposed to it as well. Although this statement was delivered through a one-way communication route, it gives the audience perspective from the company, seeing as to how the company is being blamed. It also provides them with appreciation, in the sense that the Arla Company are being understanding of the public and are trying to clear up the issue as much as possible. 2. Personally, I think that the most impressive statement in the article is as follows: “However, Arla’s business in the Middle East has been affected not by its own actions, but because of the actions of others.” This is because this statement is true and it is what the entire article is centered about. The local newspaper’s actions have not only caused an issue for their business but for other Danish businesses as well, in this case, the Arla Company. This simple statement reinforces the truth, seeing as that the actions of the controversy were never indeed initiated by the Arla Company. 3. I believe that...

...and wash his dishes. Her sons see her as a secretary-mom and they love her for it. But according to Helen Johnson, a consultant on parental relations for top universities, this kind of over-protective behaviour is the wrong way to go about it. The students are becoming more depended, due to an excessive over-parenting, the so called “Helicopter-moms.” The message being sent to the youth is that they aren’t capable of doing anything for themselves. 2: Outline of the attitudes expressed in the texts: ”Do helicopter moms do more harm than good? article on the internet, 2005 “A mother steps back from the pull of over-parenting,” article by Bethany Young Hardy, 2010 “Over-parenting is the course of our time,” article by Johann Hari, The Independent, 2008 The waters are divided on how to raise our kids in the society of today and how much involvement there should be from us as parents. The three texts discuss the topic over-parenting and to what extend it effects our children. Bethany Young Hardy, mother to Kian at three, used to participate in every Mommy and Me classes she could get near off. She states in her article, A mother steps back from the pull of over-parenting, that; “-It is easy to get sucked into the obsessive-parent vortex.” After numerous failed classes where her son never felt comfortable or fitted in, Hardy stepped back for that simple reason; “-Life is short, and childhood even shorter.

...In effort to illustrate any effects the following independent variables may have on the dependent variables I filtered and contrasted data sets responses by variables to identify possible patterns to support and/or reject possible reasons for the decrease in fireworks sales. Therefore from the rigorous analysis I conducted data analysis for a linear and logical regression tests based upon descriptive statistic portion using the identified dependent and independent variables. Independent Variables: x1= state and/or federal laws and regulations x2= state fireworks stands x3= professional fireworks shows x4= location x5= pricing Dependent Variable: y= sales of fireworks Through the process of creating a fictional data set I did at times try to think of average people ages, and other factors to make it appear more realistic however it was primarily focused on the ethnicity of Native American which is one bias for this fictional data set. However by creating male and female participants and creating varying age ranges I expanded the possible participants and gained a better understanding of the outlook of fireworks sales by using a larger sample than using a single sex, or age group. In doing so, I was able to create tables in excel and SPSS to visually demonstrate the...

...The independent variable on this graph is the Year because it is independent, and does not rely on any other data. The dependent variable on this graph is Beer Sales Per Capita, because it relies on the year to have any relevant data. There is a trend of beer sales per capita declining, but we need to filter the data to get more accurate results. Graph 1 contains the data between the years 1974 and 1992. Graph 2 Contains the data between the years 1992 and 2012. Graph 1 Filtered This scatter plot shows the amount of beer sold per capita between the years 1975 and 1992. The Independent variable “Year” is graphed on the x-axis and represents the predictor. The scatter plot has a negative, non-linear relationship. It has a strong relationship, with constant scatter. There seems to be a trend of beer sales declining per capita at a rate of 1.23 litres per year. Graph 2 Filtered: This scatter plot shows the amount of beer sold per capita between the years 1992 and 2012. The Independent Variable “Year” represents the predictor and is graphed on the x-axis. The Dependent Variable “Beer Sales Per Capita” is graphed on the y-axis and represents the response. The scatter plot has a non-linear trend, with a negative association that shows as one variable gets smaller, so does the other. It has a weak relationship with constant scatter. This graph shows that there is a trend of Beer Sales Per Capita declining at a rate of 0.31 litres per year. Part 2: The independent variable...

...Introduction This paper will describe the ERP Systems Implementation Project named STAR in Sony Barcelona Plant. The SONY Head Quarters would put Barcelona Plant as a pilot, and extend the experiences to the three European Plants even the global market. This paper will analyze the business situation in Europe and the problems in Ideal Factory as well as analyze the benefits and risks on continuing with the European STAR Project or defining an independent strategy. Situation summary STAR launched in mid 1997 in order to standardize the production and procurement processes, and apply information system in three SONY plants in Europe, however, the progress and results of the project was disappointing. Also, the Ideal Factory, which is with the initial arm of improving efficiencies and coordination among three plants in Europe, presented many problems and questioned by staff such as some plant managers. Therefore, Ferran Gil, the Plant General Director, affirmed that Barcelona Plant needed to define a new Plant model due to competitors' fast growth meant shorter production lifecycles and greater pressure in profit margins. There also have some different views on this issues. Some problems of implementing STAR Project 1. Cost. Because the project was centralized in London, the transportation cost would be high when project members had to attend the monthly meeting. Also, due to high consumption in Europe, three plants may be too much for this area. 2. Satisfaction. Each plant...

...content and conduct of things that are being shown to the general public. Self-regulation is when the media are independent from the state in that they regulate their own material, and decide what viewers should see and not see. How is the media regulated? Here in the UK, the government has absolutely no power over what the media publish. From 1990 to 2014, media was regulated by the Press Complaints Commission, which was replaced by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. These bodies are entirely independent from the government. This is one of the messages on the homepage of the IPSO: "IPSO is committed to working with the newspaper and magazine industry to maintain and enhance the freedom and authority of the press through effective, independent regulation." When an independent organisation regulates the media, bias is not so much of an issue as it would be otherwise. Standards are set by the regulating body, and media outlets have the obligation as part of the media, to cooperate and follow them. When a company breaches the standards that have been set, the IPSO will conduct it's own independent investigation into whether the allegation is true. The IPSO works on democracy; the majority of newspapers and other media outlets support it, so therefore there is no resistance to it's successful operation. An organisation that is entirely independent from the government is what the majority agree with. However, there have been several cases in the past decade when...

...ABSTRACT Reaction time is one of the important methods to study a person’s central information processing speed and coordinated peripheral movement response. Simple reaction time is usually defined as the time required for an observer to detect the presence of a stimulus. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between distance and the reaction time of an individual to light whereas distance is the independent variable and RT is the dependent variable. There were two participants involved in this study; the subject and the experimenter. The students were instructed to pick a laboratory partner and test how fast the participant will tap the table or chair as soon as he/she sees the light flashes while the experimenter holds it and the stopwatch to record the reaction time within the distance of 20 and 30 feet with 10 trials each. Based on the results made by an 18 year old female subject, there were minimal differences on 20 ft and 30 ft but it was not enough to conclude that there is a relationship between distance and reaction time. Therefore, the hypothesis was proven to be precise by the data that was collected. However, there are some indications that affect the delay in reaction time of an individual such as: age, gender, predictability, preparation, and other external factors. INTRODUCTION Reaction is a purposeful voluntary response to an external stimulus. From the start of the experiment, the experimenter hypothesized...
