Subject: Can someone explain the meaning of proxied by in math?
Hey everyone,
I keep coming across the term "proxied by" in some math papers and lectures, but I’m not entirely sure what it means. Like, is it just a fancy way of saying "represented by" or is there more to it?
For example, I saw something like "the variable X was proxied by Y"—does that mean Y is standing in for X, or is there some deeper relationship?
If anyone can break down the meaning of proxied by in math in simple terms, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance
(Also, sorry if this is a dumb question—still getting the hang of some of these terms!)
