Fig. 3From: Best fitting tumor growth models of the von Bertalanffy-PütterTypeExtended search grid (yellow) with 106,599 grid-points; selected exponent-pairs (blue); optimal exponent-pair (black) a = 1.62, b = 2.44 for the fit to the growth data over 114 days; 17,403 and 9,416 and 2,315 near-optimal exponent-pairs (red, gray, and green) for the thresholds 10, 5, and 1%, respectively (i.e. for the exponent-pairs SSEopt exceeded the minimal SSE by at most that threshold). The optimal parameters obtained from simulated annealing are displayed in Table 2. The parameters were slightly improved in Fig. 4Back to article page
