Description
Summary:This paper concerns the problem of fitting of mathematical modelsof cell signaling pathways. Such models frequently take the form of a set ofnonlinear ordinary differential equations. While the model is continuous-time,the performance index, used in the fitting procedure, involves measurementstaken only at discrete-time moments. Adjoint sensitivity analysis is a toolthat can be used for finding a gradient of a performance index in the space ofthe model’s parameters. The paper uses a structural formulation of sensitivityanalysis, especially dedicated for hybrid, continuous/discrete-time systems. Anumerical example of fitting of the mathematical model of the NF-kB regulatorymodule is presented.
