Description:
This review consists of two sections. Part I provides an overview of 46 indoor emission source models. Part 2 (this paper) focuses on parameter estimation, a topic that is critical to modelers but has never been systematically discussed. A perfectly valid model may not be a useful one if its parameters are difficult to estimate in the absence of experimental data. This is true for both statistical and mass transfer models. Thirty-seven methods are compiled and reviewed in this paper. Overall, developing methods for parameter estimation has fallen far behind developing the models. Such imbalance is the main reason that many models have been left on the shelf since they were published.
