做对比实验的时候, 如果需要实验XX特性的时候需要进行随机实验, 此时分为如下两个组.
treatment group: 表示带有XX特性的实验.
control group: 表示没有带有XX特性的实验.
XX特性可能很多是需要测试的特性, 外部选择是否加上XX特性

Control and Treatment Groups:
A control group is used as a baseline measure. The control group is identical to all other items or subjects that you are examining with the exception that it does not receive the treatment or the experimental manipulation that the treatment group receives. For example, when examining test tubes for catalytic reactions of enzymes when added to a specific substrate, the control test tube would be identical to all other test tubes with the exception of lacking the enzyme. The treatment group is the item or subject that is manipulated. In our example, all other test tubes containing enzyme would be part of the treatment group.
