Multivariate metamodelling for more efficient model development and validation
Abstract
Modelling in biology and physiology is increasingly realising its potential to provide a deeper understanding of biological function, guide the development of new intervention strategies and inform treatment optimisation in personalised medicine. However, the development and validation of large, multi-scale models remain hampered by several significant challenges - such as high complexity and computational demand, ill-posed inverse problem of parameter fitting, difficulties in selecting the most informative metrics to measure in order to fit model parameters and a limited ability to effectively bridge between time and space scales - which limit the clinical applicability of models and their adaptation to fit new contexts. This talk will show how multivariate metamodelling, i.e.
statistical modelling of the relationships between model input parameters and phenotypic outputs, has the potential to allow us to overcome a number of these challenges.
