Structural identifiability is an important property of parametric ODE models. When conducting an experiment and inferring the parameter value from the time-series data, we want to know if the value is globally, locally, or non-identifiable.…

Heterogeneity is a dominant factor in the behaviour of many biological processes. Despite this, it is common for mathematical and statistical analyses to ignore biological heterogeneity as a source of variability in experimental data.…

Identifiability conditions for single or multiple modules in a dynamic network specify under which conditions the considered modules can be uniquely recovered from the second-order statistical properties of the measured signals. Conditions…
