The aim of statistical modeling is to find a mathematical expression for estimating the value of an attribute based on a set of other, so-called explanatory, attributes. In the case of geographical units, the value to be explained by the model tends to be an average, a sum, a headcount or a ratio, whereas in the case of an analysis of individuals, the value to be explained tends to be a probability or a Boolean value (e.g. sick/not sick).
