Estimating the distribution of parameters in differential equations with repeated cross-sectional data. by Hyeontae Jo, Sung Woong Cho, Hyung Ju Hwang

“…RCS data showed that traditional methods for parameter estimation in differential equations, such as using mean values of RCS data over time, Gaussian Process-based trajectory generation, and Bayesian-based methods, have limitations in estimating the shape of parameter distributions, leading to a significant loss of data information. To address this issue, this study proposes a novel method called Estimation of Parameter Distribution (EPD) that provides accurate distribution of parameters without loss of data information. …”
