Abstract: The present paper discusses how the impulse response of an unknown linear multi-compartment system can be used to identify the system and points out some of the problems associated with a unique identification. A method for system identification has been implemented in a computer program. Simulated data have been used to study the accuracy of the identification from the impulse response.

It is shown that accurate identification of a linear multi-compartment system may require, if no part of the system is known a priori, that the observed impulse response contains the results of several independent experiments in each of which several independent combinations of compartments are observed.
