multivariable
(adjective)
concerning more than one variable
Examples of multivariable in the following topics:
-
Functions of Several Variables
- Multivariable calculus is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus in more than one variable.
- Multivariable calculus (also known as multivariate calculus) is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus in more than one variable : the differentiated and integrated functions involve multiple variables, rather than just one.
- Multivariable calculus can be applied to analyze deterministic systems that have multiple degrees of freedom.
- Quantitative analysts in finance also often use multivariate calculus to predict future trends in the stock market.
- As we will see, multivariable functions may yield counter-intuitive results when applied to limits and continuity.
-
Multivariate Testing
- In this case a single multivariate test is preferable for hypothesis testing.
- In particular, the distribution arises in multivariate statistics in undertaking tests of the differences between the (multivariate) means of different populations, where tests for univariate problems would make use of a $t$-test.
- For a one-sample multivariate test, the hypothesis is that the mean vector ($\mu$) is equal to a given vector (${ \mu }_{ 0 }$).
- For a two-sample multivariate test, the hypothesis is that the mean vectors (${ \mu }_{ 1 },{ \mu }_{ 2 }$) of two samples are equal.
-
Limits and Continuity
- A study of limits and continuity in multivariable calculus yields counter-intuitive results not demonstrated by single-variable functions.
- A study of limits and continuity in multivariable calculus yields many counter-intuitive results not demonstrated by single-variable functions .
- Continuity in each argument does not imply multivariate continuity.
- However, continuity in multivariable functions yields many counter-intuitive results.
- Describe the relationship between the multivariate continuity and the continuity in each argument
-
Applications of Minima and Maxima in Functions of Two Variables
- Finding extrema can be a challenge with regard to multivariable functions, requiring careful calculation.
- We have learned how to find the minimum and maximum in multivariable functions.
- As previously mentioned, finding extrema can be a challenge with regard to multivariable functions.
- Identify steps necessary to find the minimum and maximum in multivariable functions
-
Maximum and Minimum Values
- The second partial derivative test is a method in multivariable calculus used to determine whether a critical point $(a,b, \cdots )$ of a function $f(x,y, \cdots )$ is a local minimum, maximum, or saddle point.
-
Introduction
- In reality, statisticians use multivariate data, meaning many variables.
-
Repeated Measures Design
- The rANOVA also requires that certain multivariate assumptions are met because a multivariate test is conducted on difference scores.
- Multivariate normality: The difference scores are multivariately normally distributed in the population.
- Multivariate Test: This test does not assume sphericity, but is also highly conservative.

Statistical Graphics
- • Multivariate distribution and correlation in the late 19th and 20th century.
-
An Intuitive Approach to Relationships
- In reality, statisticians use multivariate data, meaning many variables.
-
Slope and Intercept
- (This term should be distinguished from multivariate linear regression, where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted, rather than a single scalar variable).
