Optimal parameter value searches and lifespan distributions. Top: The examples shown yielded optima in three different SD-defined parameter spaces. The low points on the SS value curves define the optimal parameter value sets. Resolution is 0.25 %/h (patients 35, 2), 1 %/h (patient 27). Bottom: the optimal fractional lifespan dependent consumption rate (LSDC) distributions for these optima are shown. For example, the optimal parameter values for patient 35 demonstrate the distribution of lifespan-dependent consumption rates per cohort (peaking at 1 %/h) shown at left. Resolution is 0.5 hr
