Title
Particularities of evolutionary parameter estimation in multi-stage compartmental models of thymocyte dynamics
Abstract
The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it presents an extension of a multi-stage compartmental model in order to make it more appropriate in modelling various perturbations of thymocyte dynamics.Secondly, it proposes an evolutionary approach, based on the JADE algorithm, for simultaneously estimating the number of division stages, the rates associated to cellular processes (e.g. proliferation, death, migration) and the parameters corresponding to the proposed perturbation functions. Several quality of fit measures are investigated and their relationship with the variability of experimental data is exploited in order to select the optimization criterion.
