Model

In the context of machine learning and data science, a model is a mathematical or computational representation of a system or phenomenon. It is trained on a set of input data and corresponding output values, and is used to make predictions or classifications on new input data. A model can be thought of as a function that maps input data to an output value or set of values. There are many types of models, including linear regression models, decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines. Models are an essential component of many machine learning algorithms, and their accuracy and effectiveness can be evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
