USING INPUT PROPERTIES AND SYSTEM PROPERTIES TO PREDICT A TIME-DEPENDENT RESPONSE OF A COMPONENT OF A SYSTEM TO AN INPUT INTO THE SYSTEM

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices are provided to facilitate non-mechanistic, differential-equation-free approaches to predict a response of a system to a given input, wherein the response is defined in terms of at least one property of the system and at least one property of the input. The systems, methods, and devices provide the ability to (i) reduce the cost of research and development by offering an accurate modeling of heterogeneous and complex physical systems; (ii) reduce the cost of creating such systems and methods by simplifying the modeling process; (iii) accurately capture and model inherent nonlinearities in cases where sufficient knowledge does not exist to a priori build a model and its parameters; and, (iv) provide one-to-one relationships between model parameters and model outputs, addressing the problem of the ambiguities inherent in the current, state-of-the-art systems and methods.

1. A non-compartmental method of predicting a time-dependent response of a component of a system to an input into the system, wherein the response is defined in terms of at least one property of the system and at least one property of the input, the method comprising:
selecting the system, the at least one property of the system, the component, the input, the at least one property of the input, and the time-dependent response; obtaining the set of time-dependent actual responses of the component to the set of actual inputs; using the set of actual inputs, the at least one property of the input, the at least one property of the system, and the set of time-dependent actual responses to provide a model for predicting the test response to the test input; and,and,using the model to obtain the time-dependent test response to the test input.
