GEARS
GEARS (Global parameter Estimation with Automated Regularisation via Sampling) is a MATLAB toolbox for parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamic (ODE) models. It combines global optimisation, reduction of the parameter search space and regularised estimation to avoid both underfitting and overfitting with little user supervision.
