Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error01:10

Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error

1.6K
The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...

Synthetic Biology

5.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

336
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

321
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Random and Systematic Errors

16.0K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Mathematical modeling in biology is labor-intensive and prone to errors due to incomplete domain knowledge and the open nature of biological systems.
  • Unaccounted external influences or erroneous interactions can lead to significantly misleading model results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a data-driven mathematical method, the dynamic elastic-net, for automatic detection of model errors in ordinary differential equation (ODE) models.
  • To demonstrate the method's capability in reconstructing error signals, identifying error targets, and correcting the system state.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the dynamic elastic-net, a novel data-driven mathematical approach.
  • Application and validation of the method on both real and simulated biological data.

Main Results:

  • The dynamic elastic-net successfully reconstructs error signals in ODE models.
  • The method accurately identifies target variables affected by model errors.
  • The true system state is reconstructed even with incomplete or preliminary models.

Conclusions:

  • The dynamic elastic-net offers a systematic computational solution for identifying and correcting errors in mathematical models of biological systems.
  • This approach facilitates more robust modeling of open biological systems, especially under conditions of uncertain knowledge.
