Linear causal models are important tools for modeling causal dependencies and yet in practice, only a subset of the variables can be observed. In this paper, we examine the parameter identifiability of these models by investigating whether…
For mathematical and experimental ease, models with time varying parameters are often simplified to assume constant parameters. However, this simplification can potentially lead to identifiability issues (lack of uniqueness of parameter…
Parameter identifiability describes whether, for a given differential model, one can determine parameter values from model equations. Knowing global or local identifiability properties allows construction of better practical experiments to…
This paper explores unsupervised learning of parsing models along two directions. First, which models are identifiable from infinite data? We use a general technique for numerically checking identifiability based on the rank of a Jacobian…
How to make a dynamic system unidentifiable is an important but still open issue. It not only requires that the parameters of the systems but also the equivalent systems cannot be identified by any identification approaches. Thus, it is a…
A recent development in data-driven modelling addresses the problem of identifying dynamic models of interconnected systems, represented as linear dynamic networks. For these networks the notion network identifiability has been introduced…
What does it mean to say that a quantity is identifiable from the data? Statisticians seem to agree on a definition in the context of parametric statistical models --- roughly, a parameter $\theta$ in a model $\mathcal{P} = \{P_\theta:…
In several model-based system maintenance problems, parameters are used to represent unknown characteristics of a component, equipment degradation, etc. This allows for modelling constant, slow-varying terms. The identifiability of these…
Latent feature models (LFM)s are widely employed for extracting latent structures of data. While offering high, parameter estimation is difficult with LFMs because of the combinational nature of latent features, and non-identifiability is a…
Log-linear models are typically fitted to contingency table data to describe and identify the relationship between different categorical variables. However, the data may include observed zero cell entries. The presence of zero cell entries…

Causal models communicate our assumptions about causes and effects in real-world phe- nomena. Often the interest lies in the identification of the effect of an action which means deriving an expression from the observed probability…
Many models in mathematical epidemiology are developed with the aim to provide a framework for parameter estimation and then prediction. It is well-known that parameters are not always uniquely identifiable. In this paper we consider…
Learning the unknown causal parameters of a linear structural causal model is a fundamental task in causal analysis. The task, known as the problem of identification, asks to estimate the parameters of the model from a combination of…
Identifiability is a structural property of any ODE model characterized by a set of unknown parameters. It describes the possibility of determining the values of these parameters from fusing the observations of the system inputs and…
Identifiability of parameters is an essential property for a statistical model to be useful in most settings. However, establishing parameter identifiability for Bayesian networks with hidden variables remains challenging. In the context of…
