Empirical equation
Explanation:
Just one example:

Empirical equation for the index of refraction of seawater

The authors have determined an empirical equation for the index of refraction of water as a function of temperature, salinity, and wavelength at atmospheric pressure. The experimental data selected by Austin and Halikas (1976) were fitted to power series in the variables. A ten-parameter empirical equation that reproduces the original data to within its experimental errors was obtained.
