"Qualitative Differential Equations: Bridging the gap between over-fitted mathematical models and non-quantitative experimental data"
November 30, 2007
4:00-5:00 PM
Building 517, Room 147 Abstract: Many biological phenomena should reduce to differential equations. However, when one finds that a model is wrong, it is difficult to distinguish between several sources of error: (1) parameters; (2) the form of one or more of the equations; (3) the qualitative assumptions made. To biologists and mathematicians alike, the most important errors are qualitative: Has one left out essential chemicals? Are there unknown physical interactions? Are some activators really inhibitors? In this journal club, I present Benjamin Kuiper's method for (1) rapidly disproving the qualitative assumptions of a model; (2) Rapidly identifying new experiments that might definitively disprove the qualitative assumptions of a model; (3) rapidly modifying models; and (4) rapidly constructing new models. Uniquely, the method does not require quantitative measurements by biologists, but instead works with qualitative phenotypes and genetic interactions that make up mainstream biology.
