Default Modeling an MOV?

I'm presuming that an MOV (varistor) can be described with an equation
defining resistance versus voltage?

But I can't locate a site that gives such an equation.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Here's one:-

Basically just a voltage dependent resistance plus some parasitics-
they don't really have hysteresis.
