Continuous modelling

Continuous modelling is the mathematical practice of applying a 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 it is put into practice.
