A Simple Model to Control Growth Rate of Synthetic E. coli during the Exponential Phase: Model Analysis and Parameter Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop and analyze a model of a minimal synthetic gene circuit, that describes part of the gene expression machinery in Escherichia coli, and enables the control of the growth rate of the cells during the exponential phase. This model is a piecewise non-linear system with two variables (the concentrations of two gene products) and an input (an inducer). We study the qualitative dynamics of the model and the bifurcation diagram with respect to the input. Moreover, an analytic expression of the growth rate during the exponential phase as function of the input is derived. A relevant problem is that of identifiability of the parameters of this expression supposing noisy measurements of exponential growth rate. We present such an identifiability study that we validate in silico with synthetic measurements.

The effect of parameter estimation on Phase II control chart performance in monitoring financial GARCH processes with contaminated data
The application of control charts for monitoring financial processes has received a greater focus after recent global crisis. The Generelized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) time series model is widely applied for modelling financial processes. Therefore, traditional Shewhart control chart is developed to monitor GARCH processes. There are some difficulties in financial su...
متن کاملEstimation in Simple Step-Stress Model for the Marshall-Olkin Generalized Exponential Distribution under Type-I Censoring
This paper considers the simple step-stress model from the Marshall-Olkin generalized exponential distribution when there is time constraint on the duration of the experiment. The maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters assuming a cumulative exposure model with lifetimes as the distributed Marshall Olkin generalized exponential are derived. The likelihood equations do not lea...
متن کاملPhase II monitoring of multivariate simple linear profiles with estimated parameters
In some applications of statistical process monitoring, a quality characteristic can be characterized by linear regression relationships between several response variables and one explanatory variable, which is referred to as a “multivariate simple linear profile.” It is usually assumed that the process parameters are known in Phase II. However, in most applications, this assumption is viola...
متن کاملBayes, E-Bayes and Robust Bayes Premium Estimation and Prediction under the Squared Log Error Loss Function
In risk analysis based on Bayesian framework, premium calculation requires specification of a prior distribution for the risk parameter in the heterogeneous portfolio. When the prior knowledge is vague, the E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian analysis can be used to handle the uncertainty in specifying the prior distribution by considering a class of priors instead of a single prior. In th...
متن کاملA simple Analytical model for solidification cooling rate based on the local heat flux density
A new simple analytical model for prediction of cooling rate in the solidification process based on the local heat flux density extracted during solidification is introduced. In the modeling procedure, a solidifying control volume is considered in the mushy zone in which a heat balance equation is used to derive the present model. As the local heat flux density is a measurable parameter, the pr...
