Several options are now available to the user in the main menu of the program. Probabilities can be calculated using an iterative method. Brown s modified version of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (14-16). by substi futing values for P1-P4 in Equation 1 to calculate the peak integral which are then used in Equation 2 to simulate spectra until a good match between experimental and simulated data is achieved.

There are a multitude of methods for this task. Those that are conceptually simple usually are computationally intensive and slow, while the fast algorithms have a more complex mathematical background. We start this chapter with the Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm, not because it is the simplest but because it is the most powerful and fastest method. We can t think of many instances where it is advantageous to use an alternative algorithm. 

Because of its relative complexity and tremendous usefulness, we develop the Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm in several small steps and thus examine it in more detail than many of the other algorithms introduced in this book. 

Chapter 4 is an introduction to linear and non-linear least-squares fitting. The theory is developed and exemplified in several stages, each demonstrated with typical applications. The chapter culminates with the development of a very general Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm. 

Curve fitting is currently accomplished using a non-linear minimization (modified Levenberg-Marquardt) algorithm for three-parameter Loroitzians, as well as five additional non-linear peak... 

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm can be summarized in the following steps ... 

The rapid development of computer technology has yielded powerful tools that make it possible for modem EIS analysis software not only to optimize an equivalent circuit, but also to produce much more reliable system parameters. For most EIS data analysis software, a non-linear least squares fitting method, developed by Marquardt and Levenberg, is commonly used. The NLLS Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has become the basic engine of several data analysis programs. 

The core of the NLLS Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is the use of the chi-squared parameter, %2, which is defined as follows... 

The three model parameters (rjQ, t and n) are often selected with a nonlinear least-squares algorithm which minimizes the squared difference between the measured and modeled ln for all co at temperature T. Application of a Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm [41,42] to the SAN copolymer data in Figure 13.4 yields fit parameters summarized in Table 13.4. Error bars are reported to two standard deviations. 

The binary interaction parameter, k j, is initially assumed to be zero, and a modification of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (MINPACK) is applied to minimize the sum of the squares given by Equation (1). This calculation was applied to the following systems at the indicated temperatures ... 

This paper presents the application of a model based predictive control strategy for the primary stage of the freeze drying process, which has not been tackled until now. A model predictive control framework is provided to minimize the sublimation time. The problem is directly addressed for the non linear distributed parameters system that describes the dynamic of the process. The mathematical model takes in account the main phenomena, including the heat and mass transfer in both the dried and frozen layers, and the moving sublimation front. The obtained results show the efficiency of the control software developed (MPC CB) under Matlab. The MPC( CB based on a modified levenberg-marquardt algorithm allows to control a continuous process in the open or closed loop and to find the optimal constrained control.
