active/attribute independent variable Explanation: Explication très claire dans l'article ci-dessous, pour une fois Wikipedia a un article en français que l'anglais n'a pas (avis aux amateurs anglophones) attribute (invoquée): "One example of an attribute variable is gender. If a study compared men and women on a dependent variable (e.g., response to this new MiracleX drug), then gender would be an attribute independent variable in that study. The study compared the groups, but the investigators did not - and could not - choose which subjects were men, and which were women ;?). " active (provoquée) "An active independent variable is one that is designed, imposed, controlled by the investigators. This is the highest level of independent variables, met by true experimental studies. " Reference: http://www.pt.armstrong.edu/wright/hlpr/text/3.2.indvar1.htm |

| provoquées/invoquées manipulated/measured Explanation: It can get a bit subtle at times :-) e.g. http://math.tutorvista.com/algebra/independent-variable.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-03-08 19:36:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Not sure I understand your question - but an experimenter can only measure attributes like gender, weight, ethnicity ... On the other hand they can potentially change dosage, diet etc. Is that what you're asking? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-03-08 19:39:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.ie/books?id=9MzvVEed_SQC&pg=PA69 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-03-08 19:41:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's a better ref https://books.google.ie/books?id=QaEmtpLyVooC&pg=PA3 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2016-03-13 11:43:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks Jack - good to see someone agrees with me :-) |

| Reference: Explanation for meaning in French Reference information: http://tecfa.unige.ch/tecfa/teaching/UVLibre/0001/bin69/b_pl... Les variables. [...]. Deux catégories de variables indépendantes peuvent déjà être distinguées : les variables invoquées et les variables provoquées. Les variables indépendantes. Les variables invoquées ou organismiques : ce sont les caractéristiques relativement stables d'un organisme, tant sur le plan psychologique ou sur le plan culturel (sexe ; couleur des yeux ; taille ; poids ; intelligence ; niveau d'instruction ; anxiété ; introversion-extraversion ; culture ; religion ; etc). Les variables provoquées (ou les variables-stimulus). Dans une expérimentation au sens strict, la variable indépendante peut être considérée comme un stimulus dans la mesure où ce mot se réfère de façon très large à tout aspect de l'environnement - physique (bruit, lumière…) ; social (nombre de personne présentes, etc) ; interne (drogue…) qui excite des récepteurs et provoque des modifications comportementales ou " réponse ". En général, les variables provoquées peuvent prendre plusieurs valeurs au gré des choix de l'expérimentateur ; on appelle ces valeurs les modalités ou les états de la variable. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2016-03-09 15:20:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://j.b.legal.free.fr/Blog/share/Dynamiques/Methodo.pdf p2 : "Il3 existe3 plusieurs3 types3 de3 variables :3 les3 Variables3 Indépendantes3 (VI),3 les3 Variables3 Dépendantes3(VD),3les3Variables3Parasites3(VP)3et3les3Variables3Contrôlées3(VC). 2@1) La%variable%indépendante. See pp2-3. I'm not copying it here as a figure é3" is inserted in each single space! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2016-03-09 15:25:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- But basically it says that two types of VI can be distinguisehd : - "VI provoquée" are those with characteristics relating to the subject's physical or social environment - "VI invoquée" with characteristics inherent to the subject. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2016-03-09 15:35:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In context, with more information about the experimental (and/or) research context, a document such as the one posted in reference by François Boye may help you decide which type of VI is being intended. Stats terminology has to be precise but there are sometimes more than one term for the same thing, depending on context and with variations from one institution to the next. |
