Wikipedia

  1. Exogeny

    In a variety of contexts, exogeny or exogeneity (from Greek ἔξω éxō 'outside' and -γένεια -géneia 'to produce') is the fact of an action or object originating externally. It contrasts with endogeneity or endogeny, the fact of being influenced within a system.

  1. Exogeny

    Exogenous refers to an action or object coming from outside a system. It is the opposite of endogenous, something generated from within the system. ⁕In an economic model, an exogenous change is one that comes from outside the model and is unexplained by the model. For example, in the simple supply and demand model, a change in consumer tastes or preferences is unexplained by the model and also leads to endogenous changes in demand that lead to changes in the equilibrium price. Similarly, a change in the consumer's income is given outside the model. Put another way, an exogenous change involves an alteration of a variable that is autonomous, i.e., unaffected by the workings of the model. ⁕In linear regression, it means that the variable is independent of all other response values. ⁕In biology, "exogenous" refers to an action or object coming from the outside of a system. For example, an exogenous contrast agent in medical imaging refers to a liquid injected into the patient intravenously that enhances visibility of a pathology, such as a tumor. ⁕In biology, an exogenous factor is any material that is present and active in an individual organism or living cell but that originated outside of that organism, as opposed to an endogenous factor.Exogenous factors in medicine include both pathogens and therapeutics.DNA introduced to cells via transfection or viral infection is an exogenous factor.Carcinogens are exogenous factors.
