Formal Verification Under Parameter Uncertainty
The development and analysis of predictive, mechanistic models of biological phenomena is hampered by uncertainty in the parameters that govern the interactions between components. In this talk, I will discuss new techniques for verifying the properties of models in the presence of parameter uncertainty. Our method combines parameter estimation with statistical model checking to address the following problem: "given model M and data Y, does property φ hold with probability p?" We demonstrate our method on a model of T-cell signaling.
