Parameter estimation for a function describing the changing pH level during the pH-induced metabolic shift

Version 1

The fitted function describes the pH-drop during 'forward'-shift experiments and the increase of the pH during 'reverse'-shift experiments. The estimated parameters are used to compute the changing pH level in the models of the pH.induced metabolic shift in continuous cultures under phosphate limitation of C. acetobutylicum. Furthermore, the parameters can be applied to join different independent experiments into a single data set.

To fit the changing pH level, an exponential function and a hyperbolic tangent are employed and are compared to the data.

The data should be stored in a Matlab-File which is called as argument of function
