Estimation of copolymerization reactivity ratios in the Berkson error regression model

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to study methods for estimating copolymerization reactivity ratios based on the differential composition equation.

Methodology. Most estimation methods reduce the differential composition equation to a linear form. They are based on the least squares method and do not take into account the measurement error in the input variable. Therefore they lead to statistically incorrect results. When analyzing the problem on the basis of the error-in-variables model in the classical case, additional information is required to determine the magnitude of the errors in measuring the concentration of monomers in the mixture and in the copolymer. Inclusion of the measurement error in the input variable into the model as the Berkson error is more consistent with the actual conditions of the experiments. It allows simultaneous estimating both the reactivity ratios and the variances of measurement errors using the maximum likelihood method.

Results. The algorithm have been developed for estimating reactivity ratios with no additional information. The empirical study of estimation methods has been carried out using the example of copolymerization of vinyl esters.

Findings. It is shown that the method based on symmetric equations gives incorrect results. Estimation results using the proposed algorithm are closest to the estimates obtained by the nonlinear least squares method
