The variable used to predict another variable in a regression analysis (usually x) is called the independent variable.
The regression analysis is used to determine the effect on the dependent variable with every one unit change in the independent variable.
The dependent variable is also known as response.
and the independent variable is also known as predictor.
In case of simple linear regression there is only one independent variable and in cases of multiple linear regression there are more than one independent variables.
The general form of simple linear regression is:
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]
The general form of multiple linear regression is:
[tex]y=c+m_1x_1+m_2x_2+...+m_nx_n[/tex]
The dependent variable are usually denoted by the letter "y" and the independent variables are usually denoted by the letter "x".
Therefore, the variable used to predict another variable in a regression analysis (usually x) is called the independent variable.
