Estimating and quantifying uncertainty in system parameters remains a big challenge in applied and computational mathematics. A subset of these problems includes estimating periodic parameters that have unknown dynamics. Along with their time series, the period of these parameters may also be unknown and need to be estimated. The aim of this paper is to address the periodic parameter estimation problem, with particular focus on exploring the associated uncertainty, using Monte Carlo particle methods, such as the ensemble Kalman filter. Both parameter tracking and piecewise function approximations of periodic parameters are considered, highlighting aspects of parameter uncertainty in each approach when considering factors such as the frequency of available data and the number of piecewise segments used in the approximation. Estimation of the period of the periodic parameters and related uncertainty is also analyzed in the piecewise formulation. The pros and cons of each approach are discussed relative to a numerical example estimating the external voltage parameter in the FitzHugh–Nagumo system for modeling the spiking dynamics of neurons.
