A model of global temperatures [1]
Statistical Modeling is the process by which events of interest are approximated using statistical methods and interpretation. The goal of statistics is to bring uncertainty and complexity into an organized form, allowing it to be quantified.[2] This can be very useful when trying to determine accuracy of collected data, or for approximating the course of an event which has not yet occurred. Though much of statistics can be performed without computers, technology plays a critical role in the ability to generate accurate and useful models for any amount of data.
