The suitability of a quasi-Newton algorithm for estimating fitness-fatigue models: sensitivity, troublesome local optima and implications for future research (an in silico experimental design). (2021)
Working Paper
STEPHENS HEMINGWAY, B., SWINTON, P. and OGOREK, B. 2021. The suitability of a quasi-Newton algorithm for estimating fitness-fatigue models: sensitivity, troublesome local optima and implications for future research (an in silico experimental design). SportRxiv [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.31236/osf.io/dx7gm

Fitting an FFM via NLS in practice assumes that a unique optimal solution exists and can be found by the algorithm applied. However, this idealistic scenario may not hold for two reasons: 1) the absolute minimum may not be unique; and 2) local minima...
