InSysBio, a pioneer in Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP), modeling and simulation for drug development, announced a publication of LikelihoodProfiler package in the official Julia repository.

LikelihoodProvider is a software package for practical Identifiability Analysis. The reliability and predictability of a kinetic systems biology (SB) and systems pharmacology (SP) model depends on the calibration of model parameters. Taking into account the lacking of data and the experimental variability the value of any parameter determined unambiguously. This results in characterization of parameter by “confidence intervals” or even “non-identifiable” parameters when the confidence interval is open. The package includes algorithms to perform practical identifiability analysis and evaluation confidence intervals using LikelihoodProfiler. Results of the identifiability analysis can be used to qualify and calibrate parameters or to reduce the model.

Evgeny Metelkin, Head of Development Department at InSysBio, explains:

“The package includes a number of algorithms for practical identifiability analysis. Along with linear and quadratic extrapolation algorithms we introduce CICO (Confidence Intervals by Constrained Optimization) algorithm which was presented at ICSB 2018. All the algorithms can be effectively applied for wide range of models and data type because they do not require calculation of gradients in opposite to the previous methods. CICO algorithm can be efficiently applied to complex kinetic models where function differentiability is not guaranteed and each likelihood point is computationally expensive.”

The package is based on Julia programming language and distributed for free under the MIT license.
