To resolve the overfitting feature of the Akaike information criterion, we proposed an entropic extension, which behaves asymptotically like the classical criteria. Estimation of recombinant protein concentration was performed with pseudo-global optimization processes while processing offline recombinant protein concentration samples. We show that functional models including the average age of the cells and the specific growth at induction or the start of product biosynthesis are the best descriptors for datasets. We also proposed introducing a tuning coefficient that would force the modified Akaike information criterion to avoid overfitting when the designer requires fewer model parameters. We expect that a lower number of coefficients would allow the efficient maximization of target microbial products in the upstream section of contract development and manufacturing organization services in the future. Experimental model fitting was accomplished simultaneously for 46 experiments at the first site and 24 fed-batch experiments at the second site. Both locations contained 196 and 131 protein samples, thus giving a total of 327 target product concentration samples derived from the bioreactor medium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23081057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]],"date-time":"2021-08-16T21:27:45Z","timestamp":1629149265000},"page":"1057","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Bridging Offline Functional Model Carrying Aging-Specific Growth Rate Information and Recombinant Protein Expression: Entropic Extension of Akaike Information Criterion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8095-890X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renaldas","family":"Urniezius","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation, Kaunas University of Technology, LT-51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benas","family":"Kemesis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation, Kaunas University of Technology, LT-51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rimvydas","family":"Simutis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automation, Kaunas University of Technology, LT-51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1016\/S1367-5788(00)00012-2","article-title":"Predicting the Performance of Soft Sensors as a Route to Low Cost Automation","volume":"24","author":"Goodwin","year":"2000","journal-title":"Annu.
