    Model of a molecule, with coloured balls representing different atoms. A model is an informative representation of an object, person or system. The term originally denoted the plans of a building in late 16th-century English, and derived via French and Italian ultimately from Latin modulus, a measure.

  4. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    Mathematical models can take many forms, including dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models. These and other types of models can overlap, with a given model involving a variety of abstract structures. In general, mathematical models may include logical models.

  8. Predictive modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_modelling

    Predictive modelling uses statistics to predict outcomes. [1] Most often the event one wants to predict is in the future, but predictive modelling can be applied to any type of unknown event, regardless of when it occurred. For example, predictive models are often used to detect crimes and identify suspects, after the crime has taken place.

  9. Statistical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_model

    Statistical model. A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data (and similar data from a larger population ). A statistical model represents, often in considerably idealized form, the data-generating process. [1]
