recursive model

a set of relationships in which the effects flow in one direction only and there are no feedback loops such that effects are sometimes also causes. In structural equation modeling, for example, a recursive model in which independent variables lead to dependent variables without feedback loops is generally more easily estimated. Compare nonrecursive model.
