Hidden variables

Hidden variables

Hidden variables may refer to:

* In physics, Hidden variable theories are a class of theories trying to explain away the statistical nature of quantum mechanics.
* In statistics, Latent variables are variables that are inferred from other observed variables.
* In Computer Science, Hidden transformation is a way to transform a generic constraint satisfaction problem into a binary one by introducing new hidden variables.
