2. Model
   In the sciences, a model is an estimate of how something works. A model will usually have inputs and outputs that correspond to its real-world counterpart. An adaptive system also contains an implicit model of its environment that allows it to change its behavior in anticipation of what will happen in the environment.

3. Model
   A stylized simplification of reality in which behavior is represented by variables and by assumptions about how they are determined and interact. Models enable one to think consistently and logically about complex issues, to work out how changes in an economic system matter, and (sometimes) to make predictions about economic performance.

5. Model
   A simplified representation of a system (which may be expressed in word, diagrammatic or mathematical terms). The use of model in a scientific context implies (1) that the thing being represented cannot be directly observed, or, in some cases, directly manipulated, and (2) that the model itself is in some degree hypothetical and subject to validation. A model can consist of statements in ordinary language, but models of complex systems often utilise graphic or mathematical symbols. An advantage of mathematical models is that much of the labour of testing them can be performed by computers.
