(1) In a discrete simulation, a variable that is an output of one period and an input for some future period. (2) In an analog simulation, a variable that is a function of an output variable and that is used as input to the simulation to provide a time delay response or feedback. Syn: lagged variable; serially- correlated variable. [DIS; IEEE]
(1) Imfaniso eyodwa, engaguquguqukiyo esisiphumo sexesha elithile kwaye iligalelo lexesha elizayo. (2) Kwimfaniso efana yodwa, utshintsho olusisiphumo sokuguquguquka kokuthile kwaye lusetyenziswa kwigalelo lwemfaniso ukunikezela ulibaziseko lwexesha impendulo okanye impendulo. I-Syn: ukuguquguquka kobushushu; ukuguquguquka okunxulumene ngokwexesha elilandelelanayo. [DIS; IEEE]
