Philosophy of statistics | Statistical models
A phenomenological model is a scientific model that describes the empirical relationship of phenomena to each other, in a way which is consistent with fundamental theory, but is not directly derived from theory. In other words, a phenomenological model is not derived from first principles. A phenomenological model forgoes any attempt to explain why the variables interact the way they do, and simply attempts to describe the relationship, with the assumption that the relationship extends past the measured values. Regression analysis is sometimes used to create statistical models that serve as phenomenological models. (Wikipedia).
(ML 13.6) Graphical model for Bayesian linear regression
As an example, we write down the graphical model for Bayesian linear regression. We introduce the "plate notation", and the convention of shading random variables which are being conditioned on.

The Incorrect Assumptions of the Ideal Gas Model - and Why It Still Works!
What exactly IS an Ideal Gas? And why do physicists use this model to represent real gases? In this video we'll compare the assumptions made by the ideal gas model with the properties of real gases, as well as how we can improve the ideal gas law in certain scenarios. As with every model
