Automatic parameter estimator

[machmachmach]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share something I recently worked on with the help of AI (I'm a strong coder but short on time!) recently. I've always wanted an "app" where I could enter dosing and parameter readings and have it quickly give me recommendations about parameter drift and dosing recommendations.

I ended up building something extremely simple but still gives me a lot of useful insights based on my logged testing and dosing. It basically takes all of the stress and thinking out of my ~weekly testing/dosing routine. I can capture any test source including ICP and as long as I can map a dosing substance to its estimated change in parameter, it can give me a recommendation. I have some things set to auto-dose like AFR, but you can still think of this "drift" as the adjustment required to whatever you've been adding between the last test (as well as a one-off dose recommendation).

It shows you the following:

- Live estimate of each parameter based on testing and dosing (accounting for drift)
- One-off recommended dose and weekly dose estimate (helpful for adjusting auto-dosed parameters)

You enter your doses and tests in a very flexible way in a Google Sheet and it just figures out the rest:



Let me know if you have any feedback!

How often are you going to be doing icp?

 

[machmachmach]

I do it around every 3-6mo. My trace elements have been pretty stable outside of boron and fluorine depleting at a pretty consistent rate the last 1y or so

How often are you dosing things like iron, manganese and iodine? Those can deplete quite rapidly.

 

[machmachmach]

I auto dose manganese and iron (iron and manganese gluconate) daily and iodine a few times a week. that's kept iodine at a reasonable range on my recent ICP tests.

Ok, that seems a fine plan.
