Parameter Estimation Methods

For the development of mathematical models in chemical engineering, the parameter estimation methods are very important as design, optimization and advanced control of chemical processes depend on values of model parameters obtained from experimental data. Nonlinearity in models makes the estimation of parameter more difficult and more challenging. This paper presents an evolutionary computation approach for solving such problems. In this work, a modified version of Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm [named Modified Differential evolution (MDE)] is used to solve a kinetic parameter estimation problem from chemical engineering field. The computational efficiency of MDE is compared with that of original DE and Trigonometric Differential Evolution (TDE). Results indicate that performance of MDE algorithm is better than that of DE and TDE.

Parameter Estimation Methods

Since the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China, and due to the open accessibility of COVID-19 data, several researchers and modellers revisited the classical epidemiological models to evaluate their practical applicability. While mathematical compartmental models can predict various contagious viruses’ dynamics, their efficiency depends on the model parameters. Recently, several parameter estimation methods have been proposed for different models. In this study, we evaluated the Ensemble Kalman filter’s performance (EnKF) in the estimation of time-varying model parameters with synthetic data and the real COVID-19 data of Hubei province, China. Contrary to the previous works, in the current study, the effect of damping factors on an augmented EnKF is studied. An augmented EnKF algorithm is provided, and we present how the filter performs in estimating models using uncertain observational (reported) data. Results obtained confirm that the augumented-EnKF approach can provide reliable model parameter estimates. Additionally, there was a good fit of profiles between model simulation and the reported COVID-19 data confirming the possibility of using the augmented-EnKF approach for reliable model parameter estimation.
