Dynamic models via ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are often used to model biological processes. However, ODE models often have unknown parameters that must be estimated from data. This corresponds to minimizing an objective function. PEtab.jl is a Julia package for setting up parameter estimation problems for dynamic models in Julia. Here, I will introduce PEtab.jl, and benchmark results on how PEtab compares against non-Julia tools for parameter estimation.
The Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) ecosystem is rapidly gaining momentum within the field of systems biology. Following up on last year, with this birds of feather discussion we want to bring the international community of systems biology tool developers and users at one table to (a) brainstorm promising routes for future developments, and (b) facilitate collaborative projects.
