Les finalités d'un modèle descriptif sont la connaissance et la compréhension d'un aspect de la réalité, l'explication de ses caractéristiques. Un modèle descriptif permet d'obtenir des éléments de réponse à la question «que se passe-t-il si ... ?». On en trouve de bons exemples parmi les modèles dits de statistique mathématique. Les modèles s'appuyant sur la théorie des files d'attente, les modèles de simulation en sont d'autres illustrations. 2, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20descriptif

Les modèles qui ne contiennent pas de variables contrôlables sont appelés descriptifs. Ils constituent souvent une étape préliminaire nécessaire à l'élaboration de modèles prescriptifs. Ils peuvent aussi être utilisés pour prédire le comportement du système. 3, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20descriptif
