Enhancing Parameter Estimation of Biochemical Networks by Exponentially Scaled Search Steps

چکیده
A fundamental problem of modelling in Systems Biology is to precisely characterise quantitative parameters, which are hard to measure experimentally. For this reason, it is common practise to estimate these parameter values, using evolutionary and other techniques, by fitting the model behaviour to given data. In this contribution, we extensively investigate the influence of exponentially scaled search steps on the performance of two evolutionary and one deterministic technique; namely CMA-Evolution Strategy, Differential Evolution, and the Hooke-Jeeves algorithm, respectively. We find that in most test cases, exponential scaling of search steps significantly improves the search performance for all three methods.

Numerical modeling for nonlinear biochemical reaction networks
Nowadays, numerical models have great importance in every field of science, especially for solving the nonlinear differential equations, partial differential equations, biochemical reactions, etc. The total time evolution of the reactant concentrations in the basic enzyme-substrate reaction is simulated by the Runge-Kutta of order four (RK4) and by nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) method. A...
متن کاملA Free Line Search Steepest Descent Method for Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems
In this paper, we solve unconstrained optimization problem using a free line search steepest descent method. First, we propose a double parameter scaled quasi Newton formula for calculating an approximation of the Hessian matrix. The approximation obtained from this formula is a positive definite matrix that is satisfied in the standard secant relation. We also show that the largest eigen value...

Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...

متن کاملFitting the Three-parameter Weibull Distribution by using Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure
The Weibull distribution is widely employed in several areas of engineering because it is an extremely flexible distribution with different shapes. Moreover, it can include characteristics of several other distributions. However, successful usage of Weibull distribution depends on estimation accuracy for three parameters of scale, shape and location. This issue shifts the attentions to the requ...
