Abstract

This paper describes the estimation of the parameter values for the recently introduced augmented RIC respiratory system model from impulse oscillometry data obtained from both asthmatic and normal children. An analysis of these values has indicated that one of the capacitance parameters of the model provides good discrimination between these two groups of children; moreover, this finding corresponds well with current medical understanding of the pathology of asthma
