There are slight differences in the meanings of these terms, but they are often used interchangeably. 1  Independent Variable: It implies causality: the independent variable affects the dependent variable. 2  Predictor Variable: It does not imply causality. 3  Predictor: Same as Predictor Variable. 4  Covariate: A continuous predictor variable. 5  Factor: A 6  ... G
Therefore, in a formula, a dependent variable is a variable that is implicitly a function of another (or several other) variables. An independent variable is a variable that is not dependent. The property of a variable to be dependent or independent depends often of the point of view and is not intrinsic. For example, in the notation f(x, y, z) , the three variables may be all independent and the notation represents a function of three variables.
