The squared error objective is the most common form, used extensively in the literature. It is also the basis for the derivation of the Kalman filter and other well known estimators.

Added lines 17-18:

The l1-norm objective is like an absolute value of the error but posed in a way to have continuous first and second derivatives. The addition of slack variables enables an efficient formulation (only linear constraints) that is also convex (local optimum is the global optimum). A unique aspect of the following l1-norm objective is the addition of a dead-band or region around the measurements where there is no penalty. It is only when the model predictions are outside of this dead-band that the optimizer makes changes to the parameters to correct the model.

#### Exercise

Objective: Estimate parameters of a highly nonlinear system. Use an initialization strategy to find a suitable approximation for the parameter estimation. Create a MATLAB or Python script to simulate and display the results. Estimated Time: 2 hours

The spread of HIV in a patient is approximated with balance equations on (H)ealthy, (I)nfected, and (V)irus population counts2.

 Initial Conditions
H = healthy cells = 1,000,000
I = infected cells = 0
V = virus = 100
LV = log virus = 2

Equations
dH/dt = kr1 - kr2 H - kr3 H V
dI/dt = kr3 H V - kr4 I
dV/dt = -kr3 H V - kr5 V + kr6 I
LV = log10(V)


There are six parameters (kr1..6) in the model that provide the rates of cell death, infection spread, virus replication, and other processes that determine the spread of HIV in the body.

 Parameters
kr1 = new healthy cells
kr2 = death rate of healthy cells
kr3 = healthy cells converting to infected cells
kr4 = death rate of infected cells
kr5 = death rate of virus
kr6 = production of virus by infected cells


The following data is provided from a virus count over the course of 15 years. Note that the virus count information is reported in log scale.

With guess values for parameters (kr1..6), approximately match the laboratory data for this patient.

The dynamic estimation objective function is a mathematical statement that is minimized or maximized to find a best solution among all possible feasible solutions. The form of this objective function is critical to give desirable solutions for model predictions but also for other applications that use the output of a dynamic estimation application.
