## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) bioreactors have the distinct advantage that they do not demand support particles and provide a high rate of bioconversion even with high strength feedstocks. Although apparently simple in construction, the performance analysis of t

โฆ Synopsis
We present a methodology, based on N-dimensional computer visualization, for analyzing multiparameter models. This approach originally consisted of three steps: behavior analysis, sensitivity analysis, identifiability analysis. We have now developed a new way of calculating sensitivity based on the statistical measure of the coefficient of variation. Furthermore, we extended the methodology through the addition of an extra step, visual regression. Visual regression allows the user to visualize the process of actual parameter identification and presents a combined, empirical view of the first three steps in a single image. Next we applied this methodology to pulmonary capillary-transport models. Finally, we implemented the model analysis process as a stand-alone program. EN-DIMAN, the resulting software, allows researchers to carry out model analysis in a graphical user interface (GUI)-based environment.
