Identifiability of mathematical models in medical biology by S. I. Kabanikhin, D. A. Voronov, A. A. Grodz, O. I. Krivorotko

“…In this review article, the following approaches are considered: the transfer function method applied to linear models (useful for analysis of pharmacokinetic data, since a large class of drugs is characterized by linear kinetics); the Taylor series expansion method applied to nonlinear models; a method based on differential algebra theory (the structure of this algorithm allows this to be run on a computer); a method based on graph theory (this method allows for analysis of the identifiability of the model as well as finding a proper reparametrization reducing the initial model to an identifiable one). …”
