| 1. Discuss the following experiments to determine dynamic models. |
Experimental Method |
|
|
Consider issues like 1) the size of the input changes, 2) the duration of the experiments, and 3) factors (disturbances) that could change during your experiment to lead to poor results. |
| Input | Output |
| Income Tax Rate | Gross Domestic Product |
| Jail Term/Conviction | Rate of Crime in a Country |
| Police Patrols | Deaths due to driving under the influence of alcohol |
| Combustion of Fossil Fuels | Average Earth Temperature |
| Average Exercise | Life Span |
| 2. Medical researchers need empirical relationships but have difficulties because every person is different and experiences different "disturbances" due to his/her life style. Discuss how they determine "models". Could these methods be used by engineers in chemical plants. |
