The use of statistical methods to build mathematical models of chemical reacting systems

This paper describes a selection of the statistical methods which are available for designing and analyzing experiments for the purpose of choosing between rival mathematical models and for estimating their parameters. To exemplify how rival models might arise an approach to the writing of reaction rate expressions for chemical kinetic situations is given. On decrit dans le present travail, une selection des methodes statistiques dont on dispose pour concevoir et analyser des experiences faites dans le but de choisir entre des modeles mathematiques rivaux et d'evaluer leur parametres. Pour exemplifier comment on peut produire des modeles rivaux, on indique un mode d'approche pour ecrire des expressions du taux de reaction dans des cas de cinetique chimique.
