Independence

In mathematics and sciences, independence is a relationship between two variables meaning that a change in one of them doesn't imply a change in the other.

• bit-sequence independence
• linear independence
• statistical independence

Independence for a country, organization or branch of government is the same as self-rule, as opposed to being ruled by someone else. Establishing such independence sometimes implies a violent break-out or spin-off, and is the reason for recurring celebration by the winner.

• Declaration of independence
