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