Variable, modeling

If this criterion is based on the maximum-likelihood principle, it leads to those parameter values that make the experimental observations appear most likely when taken as a whole. The likelihood function is defined as the joint probability of the observed values of the variables for any set of true values of the variables, model parameters, and error variances. The best estimates of the model parameters and of the true values of the measured variables are those which maximize this likelihood function with a normal distribution assumed for the experimental errors.

This book proposes a monitoring program that will help determine trends for mercury concentrations in the environment and assess the relatiorrship between these concentrations and mercnry emissions. Environmental models are also often used to predict trends and examine relationships among variables. Models can facilitate the interpretation of data emerging from monitoring programs recommended in this book and that the data will help develop better modehng tools. 

UNEQ is applied only when the number of variables is relatively low. For more variables, one does not work with the original variables, but rather with latent variables. A latent variable model is built for each class separately. The best known such method is SIMCA.

A more detailed analysis using multivariable regression of the ibuprofen data demonstrated that a three-parameter model accurately fit the data (Table 7). The Bonding Index and the Heywood shape factor, a, alone explained 86% of the variation, while the best three-variable model, described in what follows, explained 97% of the variation and included the Bonding Index, the Heywood shape factor, and the powder bed density. All three parameters were statistically significant, as seen in Table 7. Furthermore, the coefficients are qualitatively as... 

As seen previously for some specific applications such as wastewater treatment plants, software sensors can be envisaged to provide on-line estimation of non-measurable variables, model parameters or to overcome measurement delays [81-83]. Software sensors have been developed mainly for monitoring bioprocesses because the control system design of bioreactors is not straightforward due to [84] significant model uncertainty, lack of reliable on-line sensors, the non-linear and time-varying nature of the system or slow response of the process.

From a mathematical point of view, the onset of sustained oscillations generally corresponds to the passage through a Hopf bifurcation point [19] For a critical value of a control parameter, the steady state becomes unstable as a focus. Before the bifurcation point, the system displays damped oscillations and eventually reaches the steady state, which is a stable focus. Beyond the bifurcation point, a stable solution arises in the form of a small-amplitude limit cycle surrounding the unstable steady state [15, 17]. By reason of their stability or regularity, most biological rhythms correspond to oscillations of the limit cycle type rather than to Lotka-Volterra oscillations. Such is the case for the periodic phenomena in biochemical and cellular systems discussed in this chapter. The phase plane analysis of two-variable models indicates that the oscillatory dynamics of neurons also corresponds to the evolution toward a limit cycle [20]. A similar evolution is predicted [21] by models for predator-prey interactions in ecology. 

A two-variable model taking into account the allosteric (i.e. cooperative) nature of the enzyme and the autocatalytic regulation exerted by the product shows the occurrence of sustained oscillations. Beyond a critical parameter value, the steady state admitted by the system becomes unstable and the system evolves toward a stable limit cycle corresponding to periodic behavior. The model accounts for most experimental data, particularly the existence of a domain of substrate injection rates producing sustained oscillations, bounded by two critical values of this control parameter, and the decrease in period observed when the substrate input rate increases [31, 45, 46].

The two-variable model for component B includes a variable from both of the prominent features in the spectra. Variable 112 is included to model component B and t able 33 is included to compensate for the interference of A.

Root Mean Square Error of Calibration (RMSEC) Plot (Model Diagnostic) The RMSEC as a function of the number of variables included in the model is shown in Figure 5-77. It decreases as variables are added to the model and the largest decrease is observed between a one- and two-variable model. The reported error in the reference caustic concentration is approximately 0.033 vrt.% (la). The tentative conclusion is that four variables are appropriate because the RMSEC is less than the reference concentration error after five variables are included in the model. 

For the example data, the RMSEC is calculated for models containing 1 -22 variables (adding the variables in the order listed in Table 5.9). The RMSEC versus the number of variables included in the model is plotted in Figure 5.66 for component A. nte fit improves as variables are added to the model (RMSEC decreases). However, knowing these results reflect model fit, there is a concern about overfitting (i.e., fitting noise from the calibration data). It is known that the error in the concentration values is 0.010 (la). The RMSEC drops below this level after the fifth variable is included, and therefore the tentative conclusion is that a four-variable model is appropriate. 

Predicted vs. Knoivn Concentration Plot (Model and Sample Diagnostic) The predicted versus known concentrations for the validation samples using tlie three-variable model are shown in Figure 5.81. All tlie points are clustered close to the ideal line, indicating that the model is predicting these samples well. No samples need to be investigated fiinher because none are imusually far from the line. 

The predicted caustic concentrations for 99 prediction samples are plotted in Figure 5.85. The first derivative over the entire wavelength region is calculated before performing a prediction using the three-variable model.
