Definition: Response

Category: Memobust Glossary

Definition 1 : The reaction of an individual unit to some form of stimulus. It may be to a drug, as in bioassay, or the reaction to a request for information, as in sample surveys of human beings.

Definition 2 : In classical statistics we talk of response when each subject, or experimental units, gives rise to a single (case univariate) or vector (case multivariate) measurement on some relevant variables. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cros/content/memobust-glossary-pdf-file_en
