Description

In this talk we present a comparison of different methods of testing alternative hypotheses expressed using ODE models of biological systems.

We investigated applicability, limitations and stability of a range of hypotheses testing methods including maximum likelihood based information criteria, local deterministic approximations around maximum a posteriori estimates (Laplace approximations) for computing marginal likelihoods, importance sampling based marginal likelihood estimators, and a path sampling estimator built upon the principles of thermodynamic integration.
