Abstract
The observations or measurements from real devices or objects, as, e.g., in natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, meteorology) as well as in social sciences (such as economics, psychology, sociology) are analyzed and ordered in order to describe them (approximate) by mathematical concepts, in mathematical terms. An important application of these mathematical models is the prediction of the future behavior of the real devices or objects under consideration. Moreover, future measurements can be used to validate the model.
