Estimating parameters of nonlinear dynamic systems in pharmacology using chaos synchronization and grid search

Abstract

Bridging fundamental approaches to model optimization for pharmacometricians, systems pharmacologists and statisticians is a critical issue. These fields rely primarily on Maximum Likelihood and Extended Least Squares metrics with iterative estimation of parameters. Our research combines adaptive chaos synchronization and grid search to estimate physiological and pharmacological systems with emergent properties by exploring deterministic methods that are more appropriate and have potentially superior performance than classical numerical approaches, which minimize the sum of squares or maximize the likelihood. We illustrate these issues with an established model of cortisol in human with nonlinear dynamics. The model describes cortisol kinetics over time, including its chaotic oscillations, by a delay differential equation. We demonstrate that chaos synchronization helps to avoid the tendency of the gradient-based optimization algorithms to end up in a local minimum. The subsequent analysis illustrates that the hybrid adaptive chaos synchronization for estimation of linear parameters with coarse-to-fine grid search for optimal values of non-linear parameters can be applied iteratively to accurately estimate parameters and effectively track trajectories for a wide class of noisy chaotic systems.

Chaos Synchronization of a Finance Chaotic System with an Integral Sliding Mode Controller

“…where 3 is the state vector, x 1 denotes the interest rate, x 2 denotes the investment demand, x 3 denotes the price exponent, parameter α 1 denotes the saving amount, parameter β 1 denotes the investment cost, and parameter σ 1 denotes the elasticity of the demands of commercials. We regard system (1) as the master system, and the slave system is described as…”

“…In the past few decades, chaotic synchronization, due to its unique characteristics, has been widely used in engineering, finance, chemistry, confidential communications, and so on [1][2][3][4][5]. In recent decades, due to the complexity and inherent randomness of economic factors, chaotic nonlinear financial system has attracted extensive attention [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Use of Artificial Neural Network for Estimation of Propeller Torque Values in a CODLAG Propulsion System

“…Grid search is one of the simplest algorithms for finding good hyperparameter combinations. It begins by defining all the possible hyperparameter combinations -in our case that is a total of 8960 combinations [37,38]. Then, a separate neural network is trained and evaluated for each of those combinations, with the most successful ANNs stored.…”

Design of adaptive intuitionistic fuzzy controller for synchronisation of uncertain chaotic systems

“…Synchronisation is fundamental to acknowledge a lot of natural phenomena, such as the heart beating [7], epilepsy [8], and some diseases of the brain such as Parkinson [9]. Synchronisation is utilised in model optimisation [10] and secure communications [11].…”
