Abstract

Parameter estimation is challenging for biological systems modelling since the model is normally of high dimension, the measurement data are sparse and noisy, and the cost of experiments is high. Accurate recovery of parameters depend on the quantity and quality of measurement data. It is therefore important to know what measurements to be taken, when and how through optimal experimental design (OED). In this paper we present a method to determine the most informative measurement set for parameter estimation of dynamic systems, in particular biochemical reaction systems, such that the unknown parameters can be inferred with the best possible statistical quality using the data collected from the designed experiments. System analysis using matrix theory is introduced to examine the number of necessary measurement variables. The priority of each measurement variable is determined by optimal experimental design based on Fisher information matrix (FIM). The applicability and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated through an example of a signal pathway model.
