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]
Some statistical models are mathematical functions that are more precise—one set of values can predict or determine another set of values. Or some statistical models are mathematical functions in which a set of values do not precisely determine other values.
Steps for Fitting a Model. Propose a model in terms of Response variable Y (specify the scale) Explanatory variables X1, X2, . . . Xp (include different functions of explanatory variables if appropriate) Assumptions about the distribution of E over the cases. Specify/define a criterion for judging different estimators.
1.1 What is mathematical modelling? Models describe our beliefs about how the world functions. In mathematical modelling, we translate those beliefs into the language of mathematics. This has many advantages 1. Mathematics is a very precise language. This helps us to formulate ideas and identify underlying assumptions. 2.
Statistical methods enhance mathematical modeling by providing tools to validate model predictions against real-world data. They allow researchers to assess the accuracy of their models and identify any discrepancies between predicted and observed results.
What is a Mathematical Model? A mathematical model is a mathematical representation of a system used to make predictions and provide insight about a real-world scenario, and mathematical modelling is the process of constructing, simulating and evaluating mathematical models.
Models are a representation of the system being studied. These can be mechanistic, i.e. rooted in an underlying theory, or be empirical, having no theoretical basis. Models can be used to seek new patterns or support proposed links, and can be used to describe known values or predict unknown ones. Models should be as simple as possible.
