Washout curve simulation by sum of three decaying exponentials: analysis using two or three exponentials.

Description

   Typical washout curves of solutes injected into an
 organ or into the body can be decomposed into sums of 
 exponentially decaying functions, e.g.

        C = C10*exp(-k1*t) + C20*exp(-k2*t) + C30*exp(-k3*t).

 A set of noiseless data obtained from exact solutions is called EXPdecay.
 It includes 5 representation of a solution, rounded off to 6, 4, 3, 2,
 and 1 digit, to test the influence of accuracy on the parameter estimation.
 See notes page of project file for more information.

 Other such data sets, with and without added noise, and of different
 duration can be tested.

 The format of the .cdata file uses the first line for the data titles,
 enclosed in double quotes separated by tabs or spaces. A second line
 (optional) may contain the data units in double quotes separated by tabs
 or spaces. Subsequent lines contain the data separated by tabs or spaces.
 There must be at least two columns. The first column is the independent
 variable and must be in ascending sequence.
