We compare the statistical ensemble variability of nearly 6,000 active galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with other intrinsic factors such as absolute magnitude, redshift, blackhole mass, and accretion rate. We find generally that variability amplitude increases with decreasing brightness of the AGN. Using decomposed spectral information, we show that the variability amplitude appears to plateau at very faint absolute magnitudes. We also observe a weak correlation with redshift. Finally, using the decomposed SDSS spectra, we estimate the mass of the nuclear supermassive blackhole and investigate correlations with variability.
