Hi,
"response variable" normally is "Zielvariable", "Antwortvariable" or "abhängige Variable" in German, while "target variable" would be a synonym. So what might "target reponse variable" mean?
I can't offer much context, it's software strings for an SPSS-module. There are also mere "target variables" as well as "target fields" and "target reponse fields". It is clear that there is an important difference between "target ..." and "target response ...", as there is one string saying: "Target variable, target response variable, weight variable and partition variable should be different."
Google is no help as we find only expressions like "target (response) variable", ie ones that equate "target" and "response".
Any ideas?

Note from asker:
Danke. Inzwischen ist ja viel Zeit vergangen und ich habe genug Kontext erhalten. Sinngemäß hast Du Recht, gewählt habe ich letztlich die gängigere Übersetzung (Ziel-) Antwortvariable. "Target" meint hier, dass es die von der software zu ermittelnde Zielgröße ist. |
