Model building is considered here as an adaptive process (cf. Fig. 2.18): It involves stepwise fitting of the parameters, k, and discrimination of the function, f, itself. All of the models in this chapter should be considered as working hypotheses. The nature of formal kinetic descriptions means that other mathematical functions can always be found that serve the same descriptive function to within the precision of the measurements (see Esener et al., 1983). The lack of basic content in formal kinetic models in comparison with structured models (Harder and Roels, 1981; Roels and Kossen, 1978) can to some extent be compensated for by subsequent analysis (Esener et al., 1983; A. Moser, 1978b, 1984a).
