User:Mdd/List of types of scientific models

Models in science are often theoretical constructs, that represent any particular thing with a set of variables and a set of logical and or quantitative relationships between them. Models in this sense are constructed to enable reasoning within an idealized logical framework about these processes and are an important component of scientific theories.

This interdisciplinary list of types of scientific models gives an overview of the different types of scientific models that are listed in Wikipedia.
