E-optimality

In this figure the next definitions are used A - projection operator, B - pseudo-inverse operator for the image parameters a,( ), C - empirical posterior restoration of the FDD function w(a, ), E - optimal estimator. The projection operator A is non-observable due to the Kalman criteria [10] which is the main singularity for this problem. This leads to use the two step estimation procedure. First, the pseudo-inverse operator B has to be found among the regularization techniques in the class of linear filters. In the second step the optimal estimation d (n) for the pseudo-inverse image parameters d,(n) has to be done in the presence of transformed noise j(n).

Equations (l)-(3) in combination are a potential energy function that is representative of those commonly used in biomolecular simulations. As discussed above, the fonn of this equation is adequate to treat the physical interactions that occur in biological systems. The accuracy of that treatment, however, is dictated by the parameters used in the potential energy function, and it is the combination of the potential energy function and the parameters that comprises a force field. In the remainder of this chapter we describe various aspects of force fields including their derivation (i.e., optimization of the parameters), those widely available, and their applicability. 

Based on the experimental data kinetic parameters (reaction orders, activation energies, and preexponential factors) as well as heats of reaction can be estimated. As the kinetic models might not be strictly related to the true reaction mechanism, an optimum found will probably not be the same as the real optimum. Therefore, an iterative procedure, i.e. optimization-model updating-optimization, is used, which lets us approach the real process optimum reasonably well. To provide the initial set of data, two-level factorial design can be used.

It will be noted that in isolated spinach chloroplasts, one hardly needs to worry about making an inhibitor too hydrophobic i.e. optimal log P = 5.2 for the N,N-dimethyl- and 5.4 for the methoxymethyl-ureas. In contrast to the isolated chloroplast studies, one sees from a list of commercially successful herbicides for which log P values have been measured or calculated, (Table IV) that getting the herbicide to the chloroplast in the living plant places much greater restrictions on its hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance. Indeed, the average log P of this set is only 2.54. 

The efficacious plasma or tissue concentration largely defines the course of ADM E optimization. Pharmacokinetic features have a significant impact on safety. Off-target effects often limit the use of efficacious doses, as they make safety margins too narrow. Thus, the combination of PK characteristics and off-target activities are largely responsible for an acceptable TI.

It is now up to the analyst to interpret the dendrogram with respect to the possible causes of the structures found. For example in the case at hand a discussion with the laboratories revealed that laboratory E optimized its determination of some elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy.

Control objectives for a chemical process originate from certain regulation tasks (i.e. product quality control, material balance control, safety, environmental regulations, etc.) and economic objectives (i.e. optimizing the economic performance). Such a classification of control objectives automatically formulates the different design activities for the regulatory and optimizing control structures. 

A criterion that is closely related to D-optimality is E-optimality. The D-optimality criterion minimizes the volume of the confidence ellipsoid of the regression coefficients. Hence, it minimizes the overall uncertainty in the estimation of the regression coefficients. The E-optimality criterion minimizes the length of the longest axis of the same confidence ellipsoid. It minimizes the uncertainty of the regression coefficient that has the worst estimate (highest variance). 

An experimental design is referred to as an E-optimal design when the following condition holds,... 

By minimizing the maximum eigenvalue of the information matrix, M, we will be assured that M will be invertible. This would be impossible if the design matrix X and, subsequently, the information matrix M were ill conditioned. A variant of the previously mentioned E-optimality criterion is shown in Equation 8.90,... 

To conduct a search for the E-optimal design directly to the NIR data, we need a methodology that is robust with respect to correlation between the variables (wavelengths). As previously noted, by using the principal component scores, it is possible to use the E-optimal approach to reduce the number of samples and minimize the number of time-consuming GC measurements while also improving the quality of the calibration model. 

To compare the selection of E-optimal subsets with a complete data set, an E-optimal subset of ten points was generated. The respective condition numbers, based on 1 to 10 latent variables, were calculated and are shown in Figure 8.29. We see that the condition numbers of the E-optimal subsets are lower and are more stable than the condition number for the whole set. We also observe that at six or more latent variables, the condition number of the complete set increases much more rapidly than the condition numbers of the E-optimal subsets. Calculation of regression coefficients at six or more latent variables may be considerably more stable by using the E-optimal subset of 10 points compared with the whole set of 102 points.
