Summary

This paper introduces the second-order adjoint sensitivity analysis for parameter estimation in ordinary differential equation (ODE) models.

  • The Hessian computational complexity scales linearly with the number of state variables and quadratically with the number of parameters -> good for low-dimensional problems.
  • The second-order adjoint sensitivity analysis for the computation of Hessians and a hybrid optimization-integration-based approach for profile likelihood computation introduced in this paper.
  • The second-order adjoint sensitivity analysis scales linearly with the number of parameters and state variables -> good for large scale ODE models.
  • it is shown that the hybrid computation method was more than 2-fold faster than the best competitor.
