Hi There
I'm using lsqnonline to fit some data points to a chemical kinetic model (a set of differential equations). I'm testing the code based on the literature values already estimated and available. There are 7 parameters originaly which I cut down to 3 because of the lsqnonlin poor performance. So even by doing this and giving initial guess which is close to the true answer available, the solver fails. That means either it get stuck at the initial guess or if initial guess is a bit farther, it starts diverging giving complex numbers as the value for objective function. I've checked my objective function it returns reasonable values before hooking it to lsqnonlin.
I've tracked my objective function during the run and the progress is not good. The objective function is actually the scaled error (difference between data points and the prediction).
Also I test fmincon ,similar performance observed.I attached the code below any suggestion to make it faster and effective is appreciated:
