Modeling

¿What is a model?

"The object of empirical study exists in the tangible world, or empirical research, as researchers call it. In most research projects, one of the first goals is to create a theoretical picture of the empirical object of study in the conceptual world of thought and theory. Scientists often use the model name of this picture of the object of study, as seen in the diagram on the right. In the early stages of a research project the model often exists only as an idea in the mind of the researcher, but soon he will want to put it on paper or computer, too."

"Representation of reality by means of abstractions.The models focus on important parts of a system (at least, that she is interested in a specific model type), downplaying otras.Los models are created using modeling tools."

Mathematical Model:

"Representation of reality by means of abstractions.The models focus on important parts of a system (at least, that she is interested in a specific model type), downplaying otras.Los models are created using modeling tools."

It is a kind of scientific model that uses a mathematical formula to express relationships, substantive propositions of facts, variables, parameters, entities and relationships between variables and / or entities and operations.

These models are used to analyze the behavior of complex systems in situations that are difficult to observe in reality.
