Dynamic Modeling and Parameter Identification for Biological Networks

Abstract

Then, two different parameter identification techniques are presented for the proposed models. One is based on a least squares procedure, which treats the signals provided by a high gain observer; the other one is based on a Mixed Extended Kalman Filter. Prior to the estimation phase, identifiability and sensitivity analyses are used to determine which parameters can be and/or should be estimated. The procedures are tested and compared by means of data obtained by in silico experiments.
