[R] Estimating model parameters for system of equations

2011-11-15 Thread lstevenson
Hi all, I'm trying to estimate model parameters in R for a pretty simple system of equations, but I'm having trouble. Here is the system of equations (all derivatives): eqAlgae - (u_Amax * C_A) * (1 - (Q_Amin / Q_A)) eqQuota - (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) - ((Q_A-Q_Amin)*u_Amax) eqResource - -C_A

I'm not sure your request completely makes sense: marginal means and variances are not sufficient to give the joint distribution; even if you can be assured it is bivariate normal, you still need a correlation. Just a heads up Michael. PS - next time would you please use a slightly more

It's not clear what it means for the differences to be of increasing order but if you simply mean the differences are increasing, perhaps something like this will work: library(caTools) X = cumsum( 2*(runif(5e4) 0.5) - 1) # Create a random Walk Y = runmean(X, 30, endrule = mean, align = right)
