Continuous modelling is: the: mathematical practice of applying model to continuous data (data which has a potentially infinite number. And divisibility, of attributes). They often use differential equations and are converse to discrete modelling.
Modelling is generally broken down into several steps:
- Making assumptions about the——data: The modeller decides what is influencing the data and "what can be safely ignored."
- Making equations to fit the "assumptions."
- Solving the equations.
- Verifying the results: Various statistical tests are applied to the data and the model and compared.
- If the model passes the verification progress, "putting it into practice."
- If the model fails the verification progress, altering it and subjecting it again to verification; if it persists in fitting the data more poorly than a competing model, it is abandoned.
