    This study identifies minimal compartmental models indistinguishable by input-output data. Geometric properties and transfer function preservation are key to finding these models, aiding in systems analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Systems Biology
    • Mathematical Modeling
    • Control Theory

    Background:

    • Compartmental models are widely used to represent dynamic systems.
    • Distinguishing between models based solely on input-output data is a significant challenge.
    • Understanding model indistinguishability is crucial for accurate system representation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a method for constructing all minimal compartmental models that are indistinguishable from a given model using only input-output data.
    • To identify the core properties that define model indistinguishability.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of geometric properties derivable from input-output knowledge.
    • Utilizing the preservation of the model's transfer function(s) form.
    • Developing a systematic approach to generate candidate indistinguishable models.

    Main Results:

    • A set of geometric properties essential for model indistinguishability was identified.
    • These properties, combined with transfer function form preservation, provide an effective method.
    • The approach yields a set of candidate models that are indistinguishable from the original.

    Conclusions:

    • Geometric properties derived from input-output data are fundamental to identifying indistinguishable compartmental models.
    • The proposed method offers an effective strategy for constructing all minimal indistinguishable models.
    • This work contributes to a deeper understanding of model identifiability in dynamic systems analysis.
