forecast model
Future conditions simulation
A forecast model is a mathematical system that predicts future conditions based on current data and known physical relationships.
Weather forecast models simulate atmospheric behavior to predict temperature, precipitation, and storms.
Economic forecast models project growth, inflation, or employment trends.
The term emphasizes that predictions emerge from structured computation rather than intuition: The forecast model shows rain moving in by Thursday.
