		Definition of covariant in English: covariantnoun kəʊˈvɛːrɪəntˌkoʊˈvɛriənt Mathematics A function of the coefficients and variables of a given function which is invariant under a linear transformation except for a factor equal to a power of the determinant of the transformation.  Example sentencesExamples -  This was significant even after adjustments for covariants.
 -  This was dealt with by using the SES score as a covariant in the analysis.
 -  Baseline covariants were included in models that were judged a priori to be clinically sound.
 -  One-way analysis of covariance, with pretest scores as covariants, were used when tests for homogeneity of variance dictated that ANCOVA was warranted.
 -  Residual depression scores and negative affectivity scores also were linked to cardiac-related mortality after adjusting for each other and for cardiac covariants.
 
 
 adjective kəʊˈvɛːrɪəntˌkoʊˈvɛriənt Mathematics 1Changing in such a way that mathematical interrelations with another simultaneously changing quantity or set of quantities remain unchanged.  Example sentencesExamples -  Size change is so covariant among morphological traits in general that separate body parts are often good estimators of change in other parts.
 -  Salmon, in his famous text, gave an equation in covariant form.
 -  In 1887 he published a famous paper in which he developed the calculus of tensors, following on the work of Christoffel, including covariant differentiation.
 -  Moreover, for the minor factorial axis, the covariant part of characters becomes less intuitive and noise becomes more important.
 -  The special theory of relativity is notorious for positing laws that turn what we thought were invariant quantities, e.g., length, duration, and mass, into covariant quantities.
 
 - 1.1 Relating to or having the properties of a covariant.
 Example sentencesExamples -  Thus each axis can be seen as a composite morphological character combining the covariant part of the initial morphometric parameters.
 -  Salmon, in his famous text, gave an equation in covariant form.
 -  However, such covariant mutation can also occur within closely related groups.
 -  Moreover, for the minor factorial axis, the covariant part of characters becomes less intuitive and noise becomes more important.
 -  In the theory of relativity, there are both covariant and invariant laws.
