Methods for weighting residuals in the model cost function, affecting how discrepancies between simulations and observed data are evaluated.
Details
The methods include:
none– No weighting applied, treating all residuals equally.error– Weights based on error estimates for the dependent variable in observed data.std– Weights equal to the reciprocal of the standard deviation of the observed data.mean– Weights based on the reciprocal of the mean of the absolute values of the observed data, useful for relative error scaling.
