The theoretical structure may vary from information on the smoothness of results, to models that need only parameter values from data or existing literature. [5] Thus, almost all models are grey box models as opposed to black box where no model form is assumed or white box models that are purely theoretical.

In their 2002 book on statistical model selection, Burnham and Anderson reiterated Box’s statement, noting that while models are simplifications of reality, they vary in usefulness, from highly useful to essentially useless. [10]
Box officially retired in 1992, becoming an emeritus professor. [10] Box published books including Statistics for Experimenters (2nd ed., 2005), Time Series Analysis: Forecasting and Control (4th ed., 2008, with Gwilym Jenkins and Gregory C. Reinsel) and Bayesian Inference in Statistical Analysis. (1973, with George Tiao).
grey box model: although the peculiarities of what is going on inside the system are not entirely known, a certain model based on both insight into the system and experimental data is constructed. This model does however still have a number of unknown free parameters which can be estimated using system identification.
If the estimation is inadequate, we have to return to step one and attempt to build a better model. The data they used were from a gas furnace. These data are well known as the Box and Jenkins gas furnace data for benchmarking predictive models. Commandeur & Koopman (2007, §10.4) [2] argue that the Box–Jenkins approach is fundamentally ...
In statistics, Box–Behnken designs are experimental designs for response surface methodology, devised by George E. P. Box and Donald Behnken in 1960, to achieve the following goals: Each factor, or independent variable, is placed at one of three equally spaced values, usually coded as −1, 0, +1.
The Ljung–Box test (named for Greta M. Ljung and George E. P. Box) is a type of statistical test of whether any of a group of autocorrelations of a time series are different from zero. Instead of testing randomness at each distinct lag, it tests the "overall" randomness based on a number of lags, and is therefore a portmanteau test .
