Abstract:
We study the identifiability of some mathematical models of spreading TB and HIV
coinfections in a population and the dynamics of HIV-infection at the cellular level. Sensitivity
analysis is carried out using the orthogonal method and the eigenvalue method which are
based on studying the properties of the sensitivity matrix and show the effect of the model
coefficient change on simulation results. Practical identifiability is investigated which determines
the possibility of reconstructing coefficients from the noisy experimental data. The analysis is
performed using the correlation matrix and Monte Carlo method, while taking into consideration
the Gaussian noise in measurements. The results of numerical calculations are presented on
whose basis we obtain the identifiable sets of parameters.
Keywords:identifiability, ordinary differential equations, sensitivity matrix, sensitivity
analysis, method of correlation matrix, Monte Carlo method, inverse problem.
