Donald ClarkModel Definition from Science & Technology Dictionaries & Glossaries
a set of propositions or equations describing in simplified form some aspects of our experience. Every model is based upon a theory, but the theory may not be stated in concise form. (Umpleby ) An object or process which shares crucial properties of an original, modeled object or process, but is easier to manipulate or understand. A SCALE MODEL has the same appearance as the original save for size and detail. However, increasing use is made of computer simulation : the model is a program that enables a computer to determine how key properties of the original will change over time. It is easier to change a program than to rebuild a scale model if we want to explore the effect of changes in policy or design. (Arbib)
A model is a device, scheme, or procedure typically used in systems analysis to predict the consequences of a course of action; a model usually aspires to represent the real world (to the degree needed in analysis)--for example, a relation between some observed phenomena. A model can be formal (e.g., a mathematical expression, a diagram, a table) or JUDGMENTAL (e.g., as formed by the deductions and assessments contained in the mind of an expert). Some models are causal -- i.e., they reflect cause-effect relationships. Others are CORRELATIONAL MODELS which do not necessarily reveal whether some of the observed phenomena are the cause of the others. An example is correlation models used for weather forecast ing; note that the farmer who predicts rain on the basis of some observed phenomena and his past experience is using a judgmental correlation model. A deterministic MODEL generates the response to a given input by one fixed law; a stochastic MODEL picks up the response from a set of possible responses according to a fixed probability distribution (stochastic models are used to simulate the behavior of real systems under random conditions). A DYNAMIC MODEL can describe the time-spread phenomena (dynamic processes) in a system. A STATIC MODEL describes the system at a given instant of time and in an assumed state of equilibrium. Among the formal, mathematical models an ANALYTIC MODEL is formed by explicit equations. It may permit an analytic or numerical solution. An analytic model is linear if all equations in the model are linear. We speak of a simulation model if the solution, i.e., the answer to the question which the analyst has posed, is obtained by experiments on the model rather than by an explicit solution algorithm . A typical example is stochastic simulation, where one wants to obtain probabilistic properties of a system's response by evaluating the results of a large number of simulation runs on the model . In some analyses the model by which one predicts the outcome of a course of action must take into account that this outcome depends also on actions taken by other decision makers. If the assumption can be made that those decision makers o More...

The Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL) was a rebel group in Liberia that became active in March 2003, launching attacks from Côte d'Ivoire. It achieved rapid successes in its war against President Charles Taylor and is believed to have been created by the Côte d'Ivoire government as a way of staking a claim in Liberian politics during the turmoil of that country's civil war, or as retaliation for the Liberian government's alleged support for rebels in Côte d'Ivoire. Its leader, Thomas Nimely, was named as Liberia's foreign minister in the transitional government that was appointed on October 14, 2003, following the resignation and exile of Taylor. MODEL has been accused of violating UN sanctions by exporting timber from the regions of southern Liberia that it controls. The group has promised to disarm as part of the country's 2003 peace agreement.

Model Definition from Society & Culture Dictionaries & Glossaries
(Statistics) A simulation, by descriptive, conceptual, statistical, or other means, of a process or thing that is difficult or impossible to observe directly, as in an Economic Consumption Model or a River Flow Model. A descriptive or conceptual model is one which represents the structure or mechanisms of a model but does not specify the relationships in numerical form. The concept of a (simulation) quantitative model is to approximate reality by means of a quantifiable process such as a mathematical equation or series of equations. In this way the model may be used to simulate various changes in conditions in a "what if" or predictive framework. The fundamental premise of model building is that within some defined bounds of statistical probability a model may be constructed based upon the past behavior of some numeric quantity or variable, or a set of such variables, so as to be able to predict the future behavior of that variable. The actual structure of the model represents the underlying set of assumptions about a phenomenon based on the model builder's view of reality, theoretical underpinnings, proven or probable causal relationships, and deductions and inferences from past observations and experience. To be manageable and useful as a predictive tool, the model must sufficiently simplify the complexities of reality so as to lend itself to some quantifiable structure. However, this simplifying process must not be so extensive as to weaken the model's validity and negate its usefulness as an explanatory and predictive tool.
