Abstract Size-structured population models provide a popular means to mathematically describe phenomena such as bacterial aggregation, schooling fish, and planetesimal evolution. For parameter estimation, a generalized sensitivity function (GSF) provides a tool that quantifies the impact of data from specific regions of the experimental domain. This function helps to identify the most relevant data subdomains, which enhances the optimization of experimental design. To our knowledge, GSFs have…

An Inverse Problem for a Class of Conditional Probability Measure-Dependent Evolution Equations.
TLDR
The inverse problem of identifying a conditional probability measure in measure-dependent evolution equations arising in size-structured population modeling is investigated as a least squares problem for the probability measure estimation using the Prohorov metric framework and existence and consistency of the least squares estimates are proved.
Generalized sensitivity functions for multiple output systems
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the generalized sensitivity matrix can be interpreted as the Jacobian of the estimated parameters with respect to the nominal parameter vector.

SIZE‐SPECIFIC SENSITIVITY: APPLYING A NEW STRUCTURED POPULATION MODEL
Matrix population models require the population to be divided into discrete stage classes. In many cases, especially when classes are defined by a continuous variable, such as length or mass, there…
