Robust and efficient nonlinear regression of kinetic systems using a direct search method

Nonlinear parameter optimization in kinetics by direct search can be achieved efficiently enough using an algorithm based on the Powell method of conju directions. The algorithm used is briefly described and examples of performance are given. In simple and moderately complex cases the algorithm is v...

Description
Summary:Nonlinear parameter optimization in kinetics by direct search can be achieved efficiently enough using an algorithm based on the Powell method of conju directions. The algorithm used is briefly described and examples of performance are given. In simple and moderately complex cases the algorithm is virtually self-starting.
