We construct a model for inelastic neutrino- and electron-nucleon scattering cross sections using effective leading order parton distribution functions with a new scaling variable xi{sub w}. Non-perturbative effects are well described using the xi{sub w} scaling variable, in combination with multiplicative K factors at low Q{sup 2}. Our model describes all inelastic charged lepton-nucleon scattering (including resonance) data (HERA/NMC/BCDMSS/LACJ/Lab) ranging from very high Q{sup 2} to very low Q{sup 2} and down to the photo-production region. The model describes existing inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering measurements, and is currently used in analyses of neutrino oscillation experiments in the few GeV region.
