Scientific learning is an iterative process that employs experimentation, mathematical modeling and nonlinear parameter estimation, model criticism and discrimination.  The mathematical modeling task encapsulates our knowledge in a well defined set of user postulated functions. Estimation is applied to estimate adjustable  parameters and their posterior probability density conditional on the model's truth. Model criticism and discrimination induces enhancement and further modification.
