The Mathematical Modeling of Metabolic and Endocrine Systems: Model Formulation, Identification, and Validation

by Ewart R. Carson, Claudio Cobelli, Ludwik Finkelstein

Introduces the concepts, methods and techniques of model formulation, identification, and validation as applicable to metabolic and endocrine processes. Shows how modeling can be used to provide a concise description of complex dynamic processes, to test hypotheses concerning physiological and biochemical structure, and to estimate physiological quantities (parameters) that otherwise would not be directly accessible to measurement. Includes numerous examples and case studies.
