Internal Dynamics Parameters

When modeling any process, it is essential to use parameters which reflect reality, otherwise the model will not give accurate predictions. Thus we spend a considerable time researching, analysing and estimating parameters so that our model will reflect real life behaviour as accuratly as possible.
