Abstract
We have implemented a method for estimating parameters in systems of nonlinear differential equations which is superior to conventional approaches with respect to reliability and effectiveness. The method is based on the multiple shooting approach introduced by Bock (1983). Different models are compared with respect to their adequacy by means of likelihood ratio tests. We demonstrate the advantages of the algorithm with simulated data and present applications from calcium dynamics in skeletal muscle cells and the human lipoprotein metabolism.
