	Glossary
		It is calculated by multiplying the correlation between two variables by the standard deviation for each of the variables.
		The degrees of freedom is the number of values in the calculation of a statistic that are free to vary—the total number of observations in the sample minus the number of samples.
		The dependent variable is a response variable (i.e., expected return) whose behavior is to be measured as a result of the manipulation of independent variables in an experiment.

	Total variation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the total variation of a real-valued function f on the bounded interval [a, b] is
		In effect, the total variation is the vertical component of the arc-length of the graph of f.
		The function f is said to be of bounded variation precisely if the total variation of f is finite.

	Process Performance Analysis - ASQ 1998
		Total outgoing variation results from variation inherent to the process as well as variation from lot-to-lot, tool-to-tool, line-to-line, shift-to-shift, setup-tosetup, day-to-day, and throughout maintenance cycles.
		To capture total variability in a process, performance measures should be assessed from data collected over long periods of time.
		Another approach to estimate the potential variation is to use averages or medians of dispersion statistics such as the range, moving range, or standard deviation.

		The basic idea of an analysis of variance is to express a measure of the total variation of a set of data as a sum of terms, which can be attributed to specific sources, or causes of variation.
		As a measure of the total variation of an observation consisting of k samples of size n, we use the total sum of squares,
		Looking closely at the two terms into which the total sum of squares SST has been partitioned, we find that the first term is a measure of the variation among the means.

	Coefficient of Determination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The total variation is made up of two parts, the part that can be explained by the regression equation and the part that can't be explained by the regression equation.
		Well, the ratio of the explained variation to the total variation is a measure of how good the regression line is. If the regression line passed through every point on the scatter plot exactly, it would be able to explain all of the variation.
		Recall from earlier that a variance was a variation divided by its degrees of freedom.

		The individuals vary considerably but the variation is essentially random and largely meaningless so far as genetic transmission of these variations is concerned (many plant species fit into this category, which is why horticulturists interested in preserving, say, a particular flower color avoid propagation from seed but instead use vegetative methods like propagation from cuttings).
		The variation between individuals is noticeable and does follow a pattern, but there are no clear dividing lines between separate groups: they fade imperceptibly into one another.
		For example, the variation in blood types within specific groups is 85%, but the total variation between groups is only 15% (see the American Anthropological Association's Statement on Race [1]).

		So the complete statistic is: Remember that k is the total number of independent variables, including the ones that you are testing and the constant.

		This decomposition is used to structure an F test to test the hypothesis that the between-class variation is large relative to the within-class variation, which implies that the classification is meaningful, i.e., that there is a significant variation in the dependent variable between classes.
		The main advantage of the dummy variable regression is that it provides estimates of he magnitudes of class variation influences on the dependent variables (as well as testing whether or not the classification is meaningful).
		That is, those other variables determine the variable in question unerringly, by a function that would give the same value every time those other variables were given to it as arguments, unlike a random one which with some probability would give different answers.
