  3. I. Introduction and Brief Review of Optimal Parameter Estimation

  4. Parameters in Mathematical Models • Physical Parameters: measurable describe physical properties and simple physical processes have state equations which describe the physical process, e.g., =(T, P) • Empirical Parameters: unmeasurable complicated physical processes, unmeasurable from the physical point of view, e.g., Manning Roughness n, without state equation have to be determined from historical observations

  8. Ill-Posedness of the Problem of Parameter Estimation The inverse problem for parameter estimation is often ill-posed. This ill-posedness is characterized by: • Non-uniqueness (Identifiability) The concept of identifiability addresses the question whether it is at all possible to obtain unique solutions of the inverse problem for unknown parameters of interest in a mathematical model from data collected in the spatial and time domains • Instability of the identified parameters Instability here means that small errors in data will cause serious errors in the identified parameters

  13. To evaluate the discrepancy between computation and observation, one can define a weighted least squares form as Output Error Measure: Performance Function J or its discrete form: where X = physical variables, the weight W is related to confidence in the observation data. The superscript ‘obs’ means measured data. t0 : the starting time, tf : the final time during the period of parameter identification

  14. Mathematical Framework for Optimal Parameter Estimation • The parameter identification is to find the parameter n satisfying a dynamic system such that • Local minimum theory[3] : Necessary Condition: If n* is the true value, then J(n*)=0; Sufficient Condition: If the Hessian matrix  2J(n*) is positive definite, then n*is a strict local minimizer of f subject to

  15. Establish an Iterative Procedure to Search for Optimal Parameter Value: Sakawa-Shindo Method (1) • Assumed that the computational domain  =l(l=1,2,..L) in which the Manning roughness is nk, by adding a penalty term, the performance function can be modified as the following form, where (k) is iteration step in the Sakawa-Shindo procedure, C(k) is a diagonal weighting matrix at the (k)th step, the weight matrix is renewed at every step.

  16. Sakawa-Shindo Procedure (2) • Correction Formulation ofnk Considering the first-order necessary condition  J(n)=0, the parameter can be estimated from the previous value as follow, • Change the weighting matrix C(l) : • If J(k+1)J(k), then C(k+1)=0.9C(k),otherwise C(k)=2.0C(k), • continue to do next estimation of n.

  17. Evaluate the gradient of performance function the sensitivity matrix can be computed by 1. Influence Coefficient Method[2] : Parameter perturbation trial-and-error 2. Sensitivity Equation Method: Forward computation Solve the sensitivity equations obtained by taking the partial derivatives with respect to each parameter in the governing equations and all of boundary conditions 3. Adjoint Equation Method: Backward computation The sensitivity is evaluated by the adjoint variables governed by the adjoint equations derived from the variational analysis. Sensitivity Analysis

  18. Trust Region Methods: change searching directions and step size Sakawa-Shindo method[4] considering the first order derivative of performance function only, stable in most of practical problems Linear Search Approaches: directions are pre-determined, change step size Conjugate Gradient Methods (e.g. Fletcher-Reeves method) [5] The convergence direction of minimization is considered as the gradient of performance function. Truncated Newton Methods or Hessian-free Newton methods Limited-Memory Quasi-Newton Method (LMQN) [3] Newton-like method, applicable for large-scale computation, considering the second order derivative of performance function (the approximate Hessian matrix) Minimization Procedures for Unconstrained Optimization

  19. Unconstrained optimization methods Step length Search direction 1) Line search 2) Trust-Region algorithms Searching in Parameter Space

  20. Methods for Unconstrained Optimization 1) Steepest descent (Cauchy, 1847) 2) Newton 3) Quasi-Newton (Broyden, 1965; and many others)

  21. Methods for Unconstrained Optimization (cont.) 4) Conjugate Gradient Methods (1952) is known as the conjugate gradient parameter 5) Truncated Newton method (Dembo, et al, 1982) 6) Trust Region methods

  22. Step Length Computation 1) Armijo rule: 2) Goldstein rule:

  23. 3) Wolfe conditions: Implementations: Shanno (1978) Moré - Thuente (1992-1994)

  24. Remarks: 1) The Newton method, the quasi-Newton or the limited memory quasi-Newton methods has the ability to accept unity step lengths along the iterations. 2) In conjugate gradient methods the step lengths may differ from 1 in a very unpredictable manner. They can be larger or smaller than 1 depending on how the problem is scaled*. *N. Andrei, (2007) Acceleration of conjugate gradient algorithms for unconstrained optimization. (submitted JOTA)

  25. Given the iteration of a line search method for parameter n nk+1 = nk + kdk k = the step length of line search sufficient decrease and curvature conditions dk = the search direction (descent direction) Bk = nnsymmetric positive definite matrix For the Steepest Descent Method: Bk = I Newton’s Method: Bk= 2J(nk) Quasi-Newton Method: Bk= an approximation of the Hessian  2J(nk) Limited-Memory Quasi-Newton Method (LMQN) (Basic Concept 1)

  26. Difficulties of Newton’s method in large-scale optimization problem: obtain the inverse Hessian matrix, because the Hessian is fully dense, or, the Hessian cannot be computed. BFGS (Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb, and Shanno, 1970) Constructs the inverse Hessian approximation , L-BFGS (One of LMQN method) (1) However, all of the vector pairs (sk, yk) have to be stored.

  27. Updating process of the Hessian by using the information from the last m Q-N iterations L-BFGS (2) Where m is the number of Q-N updates supplied by the user, Generally [3] , 3  m  7 and Only m vector pairs (si, yi),i=1, m, need to be stored

  28. Flow chart of parameter identification by using L-BFGS procedure

  29. The purpose of the L-BFGS-B method is to minimize the performance function J(n) , i.e., min J(n), subject to the following simple bound constraint, nmin n  nmax, where the vectors nmin and nmax mean lower and upper bounds on the Manning roughness. L-BFGS-B is an extension of the limited memory algorithm (L-BFGS) for unconstrained problem proposed in [6]. For the details about the limited memory algorithm for bound constrained optimization method, see [7]. L-BFGS-B

  30. When the difference of the identified parameters is very large, the identification suffers from the poor scaling problem.  lead to instability in the identification process Scaling : parameter transformation  n/=Dn Gill et al [8] proposed the diagonal matrix D But we found this approach could not do very well, even destabilize the identification process (L-BFGS). Therefore, we proposed the two approaches for forming the matrix D Scaling Problems Scaling 1 Scaling 2
