✦ Synopsis

A strategy is described for fitting complex nonlinear models to experimental data. The procedure is demonstrated using an amplitude and frequency damped sine wave. The nature of the time dependency of the amplitude and frequency components was determined by fitting preliminary models to extreme data values and half-wave frequency estimates. respectively. In both cases, an exponential damping model fit the data. Parameter estimates from these preliminary models were used as starting values for a simultaneous nonlinear fit using all the data. Data used in this analysis were obtained from the picrotoxin-induced rhythmic discharges recorded from CAI cells in vitro hippocampal slice. This analysis allows the response to be described by six parameters: a linear trend with slope and intercept, and a sinusoidal component with amplitude, amplitude decay. frequency, and frequency decay. This damped sine-wave model may be useful in quantifying seizure activity and the actions of convulsant and anticonvulsant drugs.

The problem of controlling processes that operate within a wide range of operating conditions is addressed. The operation of the process is decomposed into a set of operating regimes, and simple localstate-space model structures are developed for each regime. These are combined into a global model s
