“…For a forward simulation using the blood flow model (ℳ) presented in Section 2.2, this data is interrelated in the sense that the variables r , h , l , E , R P , R D , C of the network associated with the variable q in , the inlet flow rate (the blood flow rate in AA), represent the input parameters of the model, which we refer to as model input parameters , and the variables q and P , the output parameters, which we refer to as model output parameters . As a reminder, the Young moduli E are given by where k 1 , k 2 , k 3 are model constants and the inlet flow rate q in is defined using two components α and τ as follows: where α = 302 mL/s and τ = 0.3 second are nominal values taken from Lal et al These will be randomly perturbated below following a Gaussian distribution with means equal to these nominal values and standard deviations σ , which will be specified later, to produce samples of q in . For more details, the reader is referred to Lal et al…”
