explanatory variables

Title English: 
explanatory variables
Definition English: 
An explanatory variable is another term for an independent variable. The two terms are often used interchangeably. However, there is a subtle difference between the two. When a variable is independent, it is completely and utterly independent; it is not affected by any other variables in your experiment. However, when a variable isn’t independent for certain, some authors will call it an “Explanatory variable” instead.
