- BNGL
BioNetGenLanguage is a language for modular, structure-based modeling of biochemical reaction networks.
- CVODES
CVODES is a solver for stiff and non-stiff
ODE
systems with sensitivity analysis capabilities and is used by AMICI. It is part of theSUNDIALS
solver suite.- DAE
Differential-Algebraic Equation
- fixed parameters
In AMICI, fixed parameters are parameters with respect to which no sensitivities are computed. They usually correspond to experimental conditions. For fixed parameters, different values can be set for
preequilibration
,presimulation
and simulation.- IDAS
IDAS is a solver
DAE
systems with sensitivity analysis capabilities and is used by AMICI. It is part of theSUNDIALS
solver suite.- ODE
Ordinary Differential Equation
- preequilibration
Simulating or solving the dynamical system for the steadystate.
- presimulation
Simulation for a fixed time before the regular simulation. Can be used to specify pretreatments.
- PEtab
PEtab is a format for specifying parameter estimation problems. It is based on an
SBML
model and tab-separated value files specifying the observation model and experimental conditions.- PySB
PySB is a tool for specifying rule-based systems biology models as Python code.
- SBML
The Systems Biology Markup Language is a commonly used format for specifying systems biology models.
- SUNDIALS
SUNDIALS: SUite of Nonlinear and DIfferential/ALgebraic equation Solvers. Provides the
CVODES
andIDAS
solvers used by AMICI.- SWIG
SWIG is a tool that creates interfaces for C(++) code to a variety of languages. Much of the AMICI Python interface is generated by SWIG.
