explanatory variable(s) Explanation: An independent variable is a narrowly defined explanatory variable. Independent variables differ from explanatory variables insofar as they cannot be 'explained' by other variables. Consider for example the following pair of simultaneous equations: y = a0 + a1・X1 + a2・X2 + e X1 = b0 + b1・Z + v X1 is an explanatory variable, but not an independent variable. Whereas X2 is both explanatory and independent. Got it? If not, please email for further clarification. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-22 08:54:35 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By the way, this glossary would be better entered under ¥'econometrics¥' or ¥'statistics/econometrics¥'. |
