Model

Overview
A model is a pattern, plan, representation, or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system, or concept. And also it is a study of a miniature of the actual. Model may also refer to:

Abstractions, concepts, and theories:
 * Model (abstract), an abstraction or conceptual object used in the creation of a predictive formula
 * Causal model, an abstract model that uses cause and effect logic
 * Mathematical model, an abstract model that uses mathematical language
 * Computer model, a computer program which attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system
 * Data model, a description of the structure of a database
 * Model (economics)
 * Scientific modelling, the process of generating abstract models
 * An in vitro model of a biological process, used in biological or medical research
 * Model Driven Engineering, the systematic use of models in engineering
 * Molecular modelling, methods and techniques to model the behaviour of molecules
 * Geologic modelling, the applied science of creating computerized models of geologic features
 * Morphological modelling, a problem-solving technique used for problems with which causal modelling does not function well
 * The Standard Model, the theory in particle physics which describes certain fundamental forces and particles
 * Model building (particle physics), the construction of new models beyond the Standard Model in particle physics
 * Meta-modeling, a model of a model
 * Business model
 * Model theory, study of the representation of mathematical concepts
 * Similitude (model), in engineering, used in the scientific testing of physical models
 * Working Model, engineering software.

As representations of objects:
 * Model (physical), a physical representation of an object
 * Solid modeling, study of unambiguous representations of the solid parts of an object
 * Scale model, a replica or prototype of an object
 * Model building, a hobby centered around construction of material replicas
 * 3D model, a 3D polygonal representation of an object, usually displayed with a computer

In human and animal behavior
 * An organism (or set of signals originating from it) that is mimicked by another.
 * Mental model, a person's cognitive representation of an idea or thought process
 * Modeling (NLP), a process in neuro-linguistic programming
 * Modelling (psychology), learning by imitating or observing a person's behavior
 * Role model, a person who serves as a behavioural or moral example to others

In occupations:
 * Model (person), a person whose occupation is to function as a living prop, often to display products, e.g. a fashion model (see also supermodel) or promotional model.
 * Model (art), a person who poses for purposes of art, for example in art school
 * Fetish model, a model who wears the clothing and/or devices of sexual fetishes

In history and culture:
 * Walther Model, German field marshal in World War II
 * Movement for Democracy in Liberia, MoDeL
 * Models (band), an alternative rock group from Australia
 * Model (manhwa), a manhwa series by Lee So Young
 * "Model," a song by Avail from their 1994 album Dixie

In lighting:
 * Modeling means how a key light reveals the three dimensional form of a subject
 * Modeling light,a continuous lightsource that visualizes the effect of a photographic flash

In geography:
 * Model, Colorado, an unincorporated town in the United States
 * Model (Poland) - a village in Poland in Masovia Voivodeship in gostyniński county in Pacyna commune
