      Generally speaking, in any given model or equation, variables can be divided into two categories:


      Independent variables are the variables that are changed in a given model or equation. One can also think of them as the ‘input’ which is then modified by the model to change the ‘output’ or dependent variable.
      Dependent variables are considered to be functions of the independent variables, changing only as the independent variable does.
