param_select function

Optimise parameters

This function otimises parameter selection so that the model will ultimately converge.

param_select(theta, lb, ub, model, temp, obs, seed, restarts = 300)

Arguments

• theta: vector of starting values for each parameter
• lb: vector of lower bounds on each parameter
• ub: vector of upper bounds on each parameter
• model: mathematical function to be applied
• temp: temperature values
• obs: DTG mass values
• seed: random seed for optimiser
• restarts: number of times for optimiser to restart

Returns

optimised starting parameter values
