Project description
pyPESTO - Parameter EStimation TOolbox for python
pyPESTO is a widely applicable and highly customizable toolbox for parameter estimation.
Feature overview
pyPESTO features include:
- Multi-start local optimization
- Profile computation
- Result visualization
- Interface to AMICI for efficient simulation and sensitivity analysis of ordinary differential equation (ODE) models (example)
- Parameter estimation pipeline for systems biology problems specified in SBML and PEtab (example)
- Parameter estimation with ordinal data as described in Schmiester et al. (2020) and Schmiester et al. (2021). (example)
- Parameter estimation with censored data. (example)
- Parameter estimation with nonlinear-monotone data. (example)
