filter_std
filters for allowable parameters of standard DEB model without acceleration
Contents
Syntax
[filter flag] = filter_std (par, chem)
Description
Checks if parameter values are in the allowable part of the parameter space of standard DEB model without acceleration Meant to be run in the estimation procedure
Input
- par: structure with parameters (see below)
- chem: structure with biochemical parameters
Output
- filter: 0 for hold, 1 for pass
- flag: indicator of reason for not passing the filter
0: parameters pass the filter 1: some parameter is negative 2: some kappa is larger than 1 3: growth efficiency is larger than 1 4: maturity levels do not increase during life cycle 5: puberty cannot be reached
Remarks
The theory behind boundaries is discussed in <http://www.bio.vu.nl/thb/research/bib/LikaAugu2013.html LikaAugu2013>.
