A novel cost function for parameters estimation in oscillatory biochemical systems

2012 Proceedings of IEEE Southeastcon.

By: S. Nabavi n & C. Williams n

TL;DR: A cost function is proposed to address issues with estimating kinetic parameters in oscillatory systems by integrating temporal information with periodic information embedded in the measurements, which results in an increased ability to estimate accurate kinetic parameters as compared to the traditional LS cost function.
