This isn't a "statistical model". The Romney Budget Plan is thin, but public. You can find it on his campaign web site and do the calculations yourself with your own income. As the man is candidate for President, his Budget Plan has been analyzed in detail by multiple object sources which are publicly available to you at the click of a mouse.

All agree that the Romney Budget Plan financially harms the middle class and poor by increasing their taxes, while providing major tax cuts to the wealthiest, and increasing the deficit by trillions over the years.

From the website calculator I linked to, it shows this is generously skewed to give the Romney Plan the benefit of doubt, but still shows the plan causing massive tax increases for the poor and middle class.

The impact of Mitt Romney’s tax plan is based on an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, which determines the tax increase or tax cut the average family in each income group would face if Romney paid for his $5 trillion tax plan by cutting tax benefits.

The Tax Policy Center uses income thresholds based on “cash income”, a measure broader than AGI commonly used by TPC. The calculator is intended for information purposes only.
