StarStarStarStar

Mathematical Model

StarStarStarStar

A representation of a system using mathematical concepts and language. Used to understand population dynamics and spread of diseases in epidemiology.

StarStarStarStar

Physical Model

StarStarStarStar

A smaller or larger physical copy of an object. Often used in architecture and engineering to represent buildings or structures before they are built.

StarStarStarStar

Conceptual Model

StarStarStarStar

A verbal or schematic representation of how a system works or is organized. Used in the initial stages of theory development in science.

StarStarStarStar

Ecological Model

StarStarStarStar

Models that simulate or represent the interactions between organisms and their environment. Commonly used for conservation biology to study ecosystems.

StarStarStarStar

Computer Simulation

StarStarStarStar

A program that replicates the behavior of a system over time. Often used in climate modeling and the simulation of complex phenomena.

StarStarStarStar

Scale Model

StarStarStarStar

A representation or replica of an object that maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model and the original object. Used in design and testing of vehicles, buildings, and other large structures.

StarStarStarStar

Statistical Model

StarStarStarStar

A model that employs statistical methods to make inferences about the data. It's used for data analysis and decision-making in various scientific domains.

StarStarStarStar

Analytical Model

StarStarStarStar

A model that provides exact solutions to problems, often using equations. Used extensively in physics to solve problems like projectile motion.

StarStarStarStar

Agent-Based Model

StarStarStarStar

A computational model for simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents to assess their effects on the system. Used in social science research.

StarStarStarStar

Neural Network

StarStarStarStar

A computational model designed to simulate the behavior of biological neural networks. Used in machine learning for tasks like image and speech recognition.

StarStarStarStar

Econometric Model

StarStarStarStar

Quantitative economic model describing the statistical relationships between economic variables. Used for understanding economic policies' impact and forecasting economic trends.

StarStarStarStar

Evolutionary Algorithm

StarStarStarStar

A subset of evolutionary computation that uses mechanisms inspired by biological evolution, such as reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection. Used for solving optimization problems in various scientific fields.

StarStarStarStar

Molecular Model

StarStarStarStar

Depicts the structure and relative positions of atoms within molecules using either physical models or computer simulations. Employed heavily in chemistry for understanding interactions at the molecular level.

StarStarStarStar

Predictive Model

StarStarStarStar

A model designed to forecast the outcome of specific variables under certain conditions. Used for weather forecasting and economic projections.

StarStarStarStar

Climate Model

StarStarStarStar

A complex model that simulates the Earth's climate system including the atmosphere, ocean, land surface, and ice. Used for understanding past, present, and future climate conditions.
