问:我们进行系统功能辨识的主要目的是什么?答:是为了能定量描述系统对任意刺激的反应。问:怎样才能做到这一点呢?答:先考察系统对某些刺激的反应,再推出刺激和反应之间的定量关系。当然,生物科学家说明其经验的方法常常或多或少是直观的,有时还带有任意性。要使这种方法变成一门科学和学科,我们必须要确实建立起一个有系统的而且严格的说明方法;为此目的,我们 Q: What is the main purpose of our system function identification? A: The purpose is to quantitatively describe the system’s response to any stimulus. Q: How can we do this? A: First, we examine the system’s response to certain stimuli and then the quantitative relationship between stimulus and response. Of course, the way biologists explain their experience is often more or less intuitive and sometimes arbitrary. To make this method a science and a discipline, we must indeed establish a systematic and rigorous way of explaining; to this end, we
