Modes of variation refer to the different ways in which a particular variable can change or differ. It is a term used in various fields, including statistics, mathematics, biology, and even the social sciences, to describe how entities or phenomena can exhibit variation in relationship to different factors or conditions. In statistics, for instance, it might refer to how data points vary around a central value, such as the mean or median, and can include measurements of dispersion like variance or standard deviation.
