An approach to periodic, time-varying parameter estimation using nonlinear filtering

Inverse Problems, 34(10), 105005.

By: A. Arnold  n & A. Lloyd n 

author keywords: time-varying parameter estimation; periodic structure; nonlinear filtering; ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF); FitzHugh-Nagumo; measles transmission

By: T. Garbutt n, T. Konneker n, K. Konganti*, A. Hillhouse *, F. Swift-Haire n, A. Jones n, D. Phelps n , D. Aylor n, D. Threadgill*

MeSH headings : Animals; Cells, Cultured; Cellular Reprogramming / drug effects; Cellular Reprogramming / genetics; Culture Media / metabolism; Culture Media / pharmacology; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Fibroblasts; Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta / antagonists & inhibitors; Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta / metabolism; Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells; Leukemia Inhibitory Factor / metabolism; MAP Kinase Kinase Kinases / antagonists & inhibitors; MAP Kinase Kinase Kinases / metabolism; Male; Mice / genetics; Mice, Inbred Strains / genetics; Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells; Primary Cell Culture; Protein Kinase Inhibitors / pharmacology; Sex Factors; Transcription, Genetic
