Cause Variable: Also known as
The cause variable of a regression is also known as:
- the explanatory variable
- the fixed variable
- the predicated variable
- the predictor variable
- the regressor.
It is also known as the independent variable.
However, this name is used in a wider context than regressions, and so is not endorsed on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
