Fit the long tailed vascular output curves using N decaying exponentials where the ratio of the decay rates is constant and the ratio of the amplitudes is also constant.
Description
Fit the long tail of a vascular outflow curve from an indicator dilution
curve with the sum of N exponentials at tjoin matching both the function,
F, and the slope, S. It is assumed that S is negative.
N
-----
\
Tail(t) = ) w(i)*exp( -k(i)*(t-tjoin) )
/
-----
i = 1
where w(i) = a*w(i+1), a>1; k(i)=b*k(i+1), b>1.
If F is the value of the function and S is the slope at t=tjoin, then
the coefficients are given as
(N - i)
a F (a - 1)
w(i) = ------------------
N
a - 1
(N - i) N
b S (a - 1) (a b - 1)
k(i) = - -----------------------------
N
F (a - 1) ((a b) - 1)
It can be shown that
N N

i = 1 i = 1
The user can use optimization to calculate values for a, b, and tjoin.
The limits on a and b are a>0, b>1.
