  2. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    The use of mathematical models to solve problems in business or military operations is a large part of the field of operations research. Mathematical models are also used in music, [3] linguistics, [4] and philosophy (for example, intensively in analytic philosophy). A model may help to explain a system and to study the effects of different ...

  3. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation (M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making. [1][2] In the computer application of modeling and simulation a computer is used to ...

  4. Model theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_theory

    In mathematical logic, model theory is the study of the relationship between formal theories (a collection of sentences in a formal language expressing statements about a mathematical structure), and their models (those structures in which the statements of the theory hold). [ 1 ] The aspects investigated include the number and size of models ...

  5. Statistical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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] When referring specifically to probabilities, the corresponding ...

  6. Structural equation modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_equation_modeling

    Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a diverse set of methods used by scientists doing both observational and experimental research. SEM is used mostly in the social and behavioral sciences but it is also used in epidemiology, [2] business, [3] and other fields.

  7. 3D modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_modeling

    The 3D model can be physically created using 3D printing devices that form 2D layers of the model with three-dimensional material, one layer at a time. Without a 3D model, a 3D print is not possible. 3D modeling software is a class of 3D computer graphics software used to produce 3D models. Individual programs of this class are called modeling ...

  8. Computational model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_model

    Computational model. A computational model uses computer programs to simulate and study complex systems [1] using an algorithmic or mechanistic approach and is widely used in a diverse range of fields spanning from physics, [2] engineering, [3] chemistry [4] and biology [5] to economics, psychology, cognitive science and computer science. [1]

  9. Abstraction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_(mathematics)

    Abstraction in mathematics is the process of extracting the underlying structures, patterns or properties of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected, and generalizing it so that it has wider applications or matching among other abstract descriptions of equivalent phenomena.
