variable quantity

1. A quantity that can assume any of a set of values (synset 105866043)
   is a type of: quantity - the concept that something has a magnitude and can be represented in mathematical expressions by a constant or a variable
   subtypes:

   • argument - a variable in a logical or mathematical expression whose value determines the dependent variable; if f(x)=y, x is the independent variable
   • experimental variable, independent variable - (statistics) a variable whose values are independent of changes in the values of other variables
   • correlate, correlative - either of two or more related or complementary variables
   • degree of freedom - (statistics) an unrestricted variable in a frequency distribution
   • dependent variable - (statistics) a variable in a logical or mathematical expression whose value depends on the independent variable
   • predictor variable - a variable that can be used to predict the value of another variable (as in statistical regression)
   • infinitesimal - (mathematics) a variable that has zero as its limit
   • chance variable, random variable, stochastic variable, variant, variate - a variable quantity that is random
   • scalar - a variable quantity that cannot be resolved into components
   • tensor - a generalization of the concept of a vector
   • vector - a variable quantity that can be resolved into components
