Model

nounverified·updated May 18, 2026

A quantitative method, system, or approach that applies statistical, economic, financial, or mathematical theories, techniques, and assumptions to process input data into quantitative estimates. A model consists of three components: an information input component, which delivers assumptions and data to the model; a processing component, which transforms inputs into estimates; and a reporting component, which translates the estimates into useful business information.

Glossary of Statistical Terms

A model is a formalised expression of a theory or the causal situation which is regarded as having generated observed data. In statistical analysis the model is generally expressed in symbols, that is to say in a mathematical form, but diagrammatic models are also found. The word has recently become very popular and possibly somewhat over-worked.
