Definition: A constant is a quantity which does not change and thus always has the same value. From a statistical perspective, a constant is a random variable which is equal to its expected value
\[\label{eq:EX} X = \mathrm{E}(X)\]or equivalently, whose variance is zero
\[\label{eq:VarX} \mathrm{Var}(X) = 0 \; .\]- ProofWiki (2020): "Definition: Constant"; in: ProofWiki, retrieved on 2020-09-09; URL: https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Definition:Constant#Definition.
