Influent variable
Origin: Lat. inflŭens, -entis, varǐabilis
The influent variables are the most crucial elements, since they can act on the system depending on how much can control them, as a key factor either of inertia or of movement. They are also considered as entry variables in the system. These variables in general cannot be controlled and will act rather as factors of inertia.
Spanish: Variable influyente
