varierende

Varierende is a term used in several Germanic languages, notably Danish and Norwegian, to describe something that changes over time or under different conditions. As an adjective or present participle, it conveys the idea of variability or fluctuation and is commonly used in scientific, technical, and everyday contexts to qualify measurements, states, or processes that do not have a fixed value. For example, one may refer to a varierende temperatur (varying temperature) or varierende resultater (varying results) in a report.

The term derives from the verb variere, meaning to vary. In Scandinavian languages, the present participle is formed with the ending -ende, producing varierende in Danish and Norwegian, and varierande in Swedish. The English equivalent would be "varying" or "variable" depending on context.

In statistics and data analysis, varierende data describe observations that do not stay constant over time or conditions, and analysts may model them using time-varying parameters or other approaches that accommodate fluctuation. Outside formal modeling, varierende conditions are common in meteorology, economics, biology, and experimental science, where acknowledging variation is essential to interpretation and decision-making.
