| Definition: |
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.
