Optimizing the Parameters of A Physical Exercise Dose-Response Model: An Algorithmic Comparison
The purpose of this research was to compare the robustness and performance of a local and global optimization algorithm when given the task of fitting the parameters of a common non-linear dose-response model utilized in the field of exercise physiology. Traditionally the parameters of dose-response models have been fit using a non-linear least-squares procedure in combination with local optimization algorithms. However, these algorithms have demonstrated limitations in their ability to converge on a globally optimal solution. This research purposes the use of an evolutionary computation based algorithm as an alternative method to fit a nonlinear dose-response model. The results of our comparison over 1000 experimental runs demonstrate the superior performance of the evolutionary computation based algorithm to consistently achieve a stronger model fit and holdout performance in comparison to the local search algorithm. This initial research would suggest that global evolutionary computation based optimization algorithms may present a fast and robust alternative to local algorithms when fitting the parameters of non-linear dose-response models.

A novel mathematical model for predicting the benefits of physical activity on type 2 diabetes progression
Despite the well-acknowledged benefits of physical activity for type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention, the literature surprisingly lacks validated models able to predict the long-term benefits of exercise on T2D progression a…
Modeling Biphasic, Non-Sigmoidal Dose-Response Relationships: Comparison of Brain-Cousens and Cedergreen Models for a Biochemical Dataset
Biphasic, non-sigmoidal dose-response relationships are frequently observed in biochemistry and pharmacology, but they are not always analyzed with appropriate statistical methods. Here, we examine curve fitting methods …
