Figure 3From: BioPreDyn-bench: a suite of benchmark problems for dynamic modelling in systems biology Convergence curves. Representative results of parameter estimation runs of the six benchmarks, carried out with the eSS method. The curves plot the (logarithmic) objective function value as a function of the (logarithmic) computation time. For ease of visualization, the values in the curves have been divided by the final value reached by each of them, i.e. the y axis plots J/J f . Note that, since the benchmarks have different number of variables and data points, and different noise levels, the objective function values are not equivalent for different models. Results obtained on a computer with Intel Xeon Quadcore processor, 2.50 GHz, using Matlab 7.9.0.529 (R2009b) 32-bit.Back to article page
