> Depending on the context, an independent variable is sometimes called a "predictor variable", regressor, covariate, "controlled variable", "manipulated variable", "explanatory variable", exposure variable (see reliability theory), "risk factor" (see medical statistics), "feature" (in machine learning and pattern recognition) or "input variable." In econometrics, the term "control variable" is usually used instead of "covariate".
