Variables

"Each year we budget so much for food cost and build in variables, but we always stick with quality," adds Donnelly. ❋ Marc Compeau (2010)

Infact, after controlling for regional heterogeneity, any one of these three variables is sufficient to subsume the impact of regime type on wars, militarized interstate disputes (MIDs), and fatal disputes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

But knowing that your appalling home performances may rest on the fact you've neglected to fiddle with one of these thousands of variables is frustrating. ❋ Jack Arnott (2010)

How does that fit into the graph? there would have to be 2 instantaneous cases for teeth … maybe a flipping of dependent variables is in order? ❋ Unknown (2010)

I must confess that I find interaction terms where one of the variables is not a dummy variable fairly bewildering (which is driving which? what about the induced colinearity?). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Regression using instrument variables is essentially a two-stage regression: first, you regress the price of beer against the log of the instrument variable (use the beer tax, I'm almost positive it's a going to be a better instrument than general sales tax or beer tax + sales tax); second, you regress the log of the quantity of beer consumed against the log of the estimated price of beer obtained from the first regression. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Real-time and historical data on temperature, pressure, wind speed, and many other variables is immediately available for mathematical analysis and visualization. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Each of these three variables is correlated with each other. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Calculating poker hand odds will depend on certain variables in a game. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I feel they could have added in variables for this, maybe 1-10% of a single vote added depending on age. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Thus the theory of hidden variables is overturned (at least in its local form), which means that quantum randomness is different from throwing a dice. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Most lists were approved ahead of time, because some contain variables to the Southern author/book rule. ❋ ____Maggie (2007)

The device monitors several external variables from a streaming version of the BodyMedia SenseWear [...] ❋ Unknown (2006)

This is a critical point because people can always claim that there are certain variables that are unknown. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Then, based on the local language, all the text to be displayed (menus, commands etc) is read into variables from the appropriate file. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Right now, both are "show me" stocks with murky near-term variables related to consumer spending. ❋ Martin T. Sosnoff (2006)

1. 3=[5x] solve for the [variable] x. 2. Don't use global variables; keeping track of all the subroutines modifying the same [memory] gets very confusing very fast. ❋ N0TR1DDL3 (2014)

Had to take a [HUUUGE] [variable] [just now] ❋ VerdeSauce (2020)

This guy is a real [variable]! You never know whether he's going to explain [quantum physics] or [jump around] like a monkey! ❋ Variable (2003)

These are examples of [windows variables] (windows 7) : %ALLUSERSPROFILE% -- C:\Program\Data %[APPDATA]% -- C:\Users\%username%\[AppData]\Roaming. %USERNAME% -- Your user name that you are using. %CMDCMDLINE% -- [C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe] %COMPUTERNAME% -- Computer name Of course there are a LOT more, but they are too many to list in here. ❋ Not-underscore (2020)

your life is full of constants and variables. [the father] of your child is a constant and the woman he [cheated on] you with is a [variable]. ❋ Bottomboy Tj (2018)

Jack is conducting a science experiment. He is growing [a rose] plant, a [marigold] plant, and a [sunflower] plant to see which can grow the tallest. He gives all three plants the same amount of sunlight and water. His dependent variable would be how tall each plant grows because it is the result of his experiment. ❋ MisFit1 (2015)

In an experiment, [Lyndsey] has three sunflower plants. They are all given the same amount of sunlight; however, she gives [one drop] of water to one plant, two drops to another, and no water to the third. [Lyndsey's] independent variable is the amount of water. ❋ MisFit1 (2015)

if ([foo] > bar) [baz] += [qux] else baz += quux ❋ Shimaspawn (2004)

A controlled variable is a [part] of the [experiment] that doesn't [change] ❋ Kitkat Kallister (2017)

[That guy] is the negro variable of our [math class]. ❋ Johnny (2003)
