Identifiability and Sensitivity Analysis
When working with models, it is important that we develop models that are robust and accurate in describing the phenomena in question. To do this, we can analyze the model's identifiability and its sensitivity to the model parameters. Identifiability describes the ability to acquire parameters to accurately describe a given set of experimental data. Sensitivity analysis, on the other hand, describes the effect of the input parameters or factors on a given model output. This seminar will discuss both structural and practical identifiability, as well as parameter estimation and (local and global) sensitivity analysis. More specifically, methods will be presented to assess and analyze models with respect to these factors.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
