About this Event
About the Workshop
Parameter inference is essential for interpreting empirical data and validating mechanistic models. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification by fitting stochastic models of gene expression to single-cell RNA sequencing data. We will implement maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods in Julia and explore the issue of parameter identifiability along with its practical implications for model selection. We will also discuss how to distinguish the different sources of biological and technical noise present in high-throughput single-cell data.
This workshop builds on top of the fundamentals of biochemical modelling covered in October workshop of the series.
Pre-requisites: some familiarity with statistics and programming would be beneficial.
Lead Instructors: Augustinas Sukys & Kaan Ocal
Please note that the $25 booking fee will be fully refunded upon workshop attendance.
