An explanation is given about the meaning of empirical regression and on the domain of application of this biomathematical-statistical procedure. It may be helpful in data handling after the measurements and in a first stage of data processing especially if there is a large amount of datas. An empirical regression can provide the basis for a functional relationship analysis by giving hints for the choice of empirical mathematical functions. This will be useful and necessary in such cases where the measured values have a greater dispersion and one wants to get an analytical expression for the course of measured points. In the appendix a program listing of the ALGOL-program for empirical regression is presented. Detailed remarks are made in the text concerning the program structure, the data input and output resp. the program control parameters to enable the biological or medical user to adapt the program to their special problems without the help by a mathematician, and neither with deeper knowledge of mathematics nor with detailed insight to computer technical aspects of data processing.
本文对经验回归的含义及其在生物数学统计程序中的应用领域进行了解释。这对于测量后的数据分析以及数据处理的第一阶段可能会有所帮助，特别是在数据量较大的情况下。经验回归可以通过为经验数学函数的选择提供线索，为函数关系分析提供基础。在测量值具有较大离散度且希望得到测量点轨迹的解析表达式的情况下，这将是有用且必要的。附录中给出了用于经验回归的ALGOL程序清单。文中对程序结构、数据输入和输出以及程序控制参数进行了详细说明，以使生物或医学领域的用户能够在无需数学家帮助的情况下，在不具备深厚数学知识和对数据处理计算机技术细节深入了解的情况下，使程序适应他们的特殊问题。
