Estimation of Nonlinear Acoustic Parameter Using Bispectral Analysis.

Nonlinear Parameter Estimation Using Interval Analysis

The reliable solution of nonlinear parameter estimation problems is an important computational problem in chemical process engineering, both in on-line and off-line applications. Conventional solution methods may not be reliable since they do not guarantee convergence to the global optimum sought in the parameter estimation problem. We demonstrate here a technique, based on interval analysis, t...

parameter estimation of the nonlinear muskingum model using simulated annealing

abstract the muskingum method is frequently used to route floods in hydrology. however, application of the model is still difficult because of the parameter estimation’s. recently, some of heuristic methods have been used in order to estimate the nonlinear muskingum model. this paper presents a efficient heuristic algorithm, simulated annealing, which has been used to estimate the three paramet...

Nonlinear kinetic parameter estimation using simulated annealing

The performance of simulated annealing (S-A) in nonlinear kinetic parameter estimation was studied and compared with the classical Levenberg /Marquardt (L /M) algorithm. Both methods were tested in the estimation of kinetic parameters using a set of three kinetic models of progressively higher complexity. The models describe the catalytic wet air oxidation of phenol carried out in a small-scale...

Nonlinear Parameter Estimation Using Spreadsheet Software

Many fundamental processes in the natural and physical sciences exhibit substantial nonlinear relations among the component variables. Instructing students on how to identify parameters in models for such relations based on measured data, and providing a means to illustrate the impacts of specific components on the behavior of nonlinear relationships, is therefore a critical element of universi...
