The AmP project: Comparing species on the basis of dynamic energy budget parameters
Fig 2
Top figure: Architecture of the AmP procedure. The rounded (green) rectangles represent files that are set by the user: run_my_pet, mydata_my_pet, pars_init_my_pet, predict_my_pet. The specific inputs for each file are specified (see text for details). For example: the user must set data and weights in mydata_my_pet etc. The (orange) rectangles represent the output. All the estimated parameters are stored in results_my_pet.mat. Figures can be stored as .png. Parameters in the .mat file can be used to generate an html file which reports all types of DEB quantities. The estimation procedure (blue oval) is further detailed in the bottom figure. Bottom: conceptual overview of the four elements underlying the AmP parameter estimation procedure (blue ovals). The information that is used as input for each of the elements is represented in rounded (green) rectangles. The elements represented by the ovals perform the computations. The output of the estimation procedure (the parameters) is represented by the (orange) rectangle. The results returned by the procedure can then be used to restart the procedure (continuation method described in the text).
