  2. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    Elements of a mathematical model. [edit] 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.

  3. Sector model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sector_model

    The sector model, also known as the Hoyt model, is a model of urban land use proposed in 1939 by land economist Homer Hoyt. [1] It is a modification of the concentric zone model of city development. The benefits of the application of this model include the fact it allows for an outward progression of growth.

  4. Small area estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_area_estimation

    One of the more common small area models in use today is the 'nested area unit level regression model', first used in 1988 to model corn and soybean crop areas in Iowa. The initial survey data, in which farmers reported the area they had growing either corn or soybeans, was compared to estimates obtained from satellite mapping of the farms.

  5. Fay–Herriot model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay–Herriot_model

    Regression analysis. The Fay–Herriot model is a statistical model which includes some distinct variation for each of several subgroups of observations. It is an area-level model, meaning some input data are associated with sub-aggregates such as regions, jurisdictions, or industries. The model produces estimates about the subgroups.

  6. Central place theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_place_theory

    e. Central place theory is an urban geographical theory that seeks to explain the number, size and range of market services in a commercial system or human settlements in a residential system. [1] It was introduced in 1933 to explain the spatial distribution of cities across the landscape. [2] The theory was first analyzed by German geographer ...

  7. Atmospheric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_model

    Atmospheric model. In atmospheric science, an atmospheric model is a mathematical model constructed around the full set of primitive, dynamical equations which govern atmospheric motions. It can supplement these equations with parameterizations for turbulent diffusion, radiation, moist processes (clouds and precipitation), heat exchange, soil ...

  8. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat. [1] It is the two-dimensional analogue of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept).

  9. Linear model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_model

    An example of a linear time series model is an autoregressive moving average model.Here the model for values {} in a time series can be written in the form = + + = + =. where again the quantities are random variables representing innovations which are new random effects that appear at a certain time but also affect values of at later times.
