Good source of practical knowledge
For a long time I have been looking for a book like this one. Finally, I had found it. Just from the Table of Contents, you will see that includes a broad range of applications in parameter estimation such as: linear, non-linear, ODEs, PDEs and also algorithm's implementation. Special topics, such as sensitivity analysis in ODE models, Information index (where to do the measurements in order to maximize the content of information of the experimental data), and Statistical inference (i.e. parameters' inference, model adequacy test, etc.) are exposed with clarity.

I particularly like the section of Solved Problems, were you can compare your own algorithms with the ones exposed in the book. I work with MATLAB (including my own algorithms), and I have done a couple of comparisons that match perfect the numerical results shown in the book.

Many of the typical problems that I have faced in the area of parameter estimation were mentioned in the book; good recommendations or practices on how to avoid them are explained. In addition, there is a short section on shortcuts in the "bio" area.

In summary, a good source of practical knowledge for those ones interested in the topic. ... Read more

Product Description
Lord Cullen in his report on the Piper Alpha disaster has, in effect, suggested that the experience gained in the control of major hazards onshore during the 1980s should be applied to improve safety offshore during the 1990s. This major three-day symposium organized by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, reviews what has been learned so far with regard to major hazards and considers its present and future applications both onshore and offshore. Topics covered in this volume are wide ranging and deal with all aspects of legislation the application of regulations/techniques for evaluating hazards and prescribing safety measures in design/construction and operation/the importance of the human factors, and recent technical developments in protective measures relief venting and predicting the consequences of fires and explosions. The book is aimed at chemical engineers and risk assessment specialists. ... Read more
