Abstract: The notion of a statistical model, as inferred and used in statistics, machine learning and data mining, is examined from a semantic point of view. Data types and type-classes for models are developed that allow models to be manipulated in a type-safe yet flexible way. The programming language Haskell-98, with its system of polymorphic types and type-classes, is used as the meta-language for this exercise so one of the by-products is a running program.

Keywords: Classes, data mining, data types, functional programming, inductive inference, machine learning.
