Key variable

←#(number): : From my point of view a key variable is actually simply an indicator. So would be "diagnostic variable", which as a term sounds neither familiar nor clarifying to me. For simplicity, I suggest discontinue using term "key variable", but instead using indicator or indicator variable as its replacement. --Anna Karjalainen 14:35, 24 April 2008 (EEST)
