Benchmark-Models-PEtab

A collection of mathematical models with experimental data in the PEtab format as benchmark problems in order to evaluate new and existing methodologies for data-based modelling. The publication for the introduction and analysis of the benchmark problem collection is available at https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/35/17/3073/5280731.

Contributions to the collection are very welcome. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

    abstract = {Reproducibility and reusability of the results of data-based modeling studies are essential. Yet, there has been—so far—no broadly supported format for the specification of parameter estimation problems in systems biology. Here, we introduce PEtab, a format which facilitates the specification of parameter estimation problems using Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) models and a set of tab-separated value files describing the observation model and experimental data as well as parameters to be estimated. We already implemented PEtab support into eight well-established model simulation and parameter estimation toolboxes with hundreds of users in total. We provide a Python library for validation and modification of a PEtab problem and currently 20 example parameter estimation problems based on recent studies.},
