# 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:

- 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:
