WHAT DOES CETERIS PARIBUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ceteris paribus

Ceteris paribus or caeteris paribus is a Latin phrase meaning "with other things the same" or "all other things being equal or held constant." A prediction or a statement about a causal, empirical, or logical relation between two states of affairs is ceteris paribus via acknowledgement that the prediction, although usually accurate in expected conditions, can fail or the relation can be abolished by intervening factors. A ceteris paribus assumption is often key to scientific inquiry, as scientists seek to screen out factors that perturb a relation of interest. Thus, epidemiologists seek to control independent variables as factors that may influence dependent variables—the outcomes or effects of interest. Likewise, in scientific modeling, simplifying assumptions permit illustration or elucidation of concepts thought relevant within the sphere of inquiry. Whereas fundamental physics tends to state universal laws, other sciences, such as biology, psychology, and economics, tend to state laws that hold true in "normal conditions" but have exceptions, ceteris paribus laws.
