What is model fitting?

Assure the interviewer that you are familiar with basic statistical concepts and practices by briefly walking them through your understanding of model fitting.

"Model fitting, or statistical model fitting, comes from the idea that we cannot reverse engineer a law but we can reverse engineer a model from data. Model fitting shows us how to fit a model to data in just 3 steps. It's a vital concept for all Statisticians to know."
