Hi All,
I'm attempting to put a set of simbiology global sensitivity analysis plots into my thesis and I'm running into some issues with the GSA plots. Firstly, the figures are very large, it would be quite beneficial to grab a set of the plots and arrange them myself, is there any documentation on how to mess around with the '1x1 Sobol' produced by sbiosobol? Or just GSA plots in general.
The second problem is that the results appear to be relative to the most sensitive parameter in that run. Is it recommended to have a resonably sensitive 'baseline' parameter in each run? I find it difficult to compare plots when a not so sensitive parameter is being recorded as near '1' for the whole run because it's being stacked against a set of very insensitive parameters. I.e. if i have multiple sets of GSAs due to a large model, how can I easily compare results? If I could do some single run through with every parameter that would be the ideal, I imagine, but then the default plot would be half a mile off the bottom of my screen, haha! Perhaps there is a solution to the first question that might help there?
Thank you for your help,
Dan
Hi all,
I've translated a model from another piece of software (monolix) into simbio programmatically to make use of your very easy global sensitivity analysis system.
It looks a little something like this, for a 'single' line example:
r1 = addreaction(model,'InsI -> InsP');
r1.ReactionRate = 'InsI*kip/vi'; %- is + panc
k1 = addkineticlaw(r1, 'Unknown');
Multiplied about 20 fold, as you can see I have included my volumes within the reaction rates myself (vi). The model functions perfectly and I have corrected the outputs at the end:
[time, x, names] = sbiosimulate(model,csObj,dObj1);
x(:,1) = x(:,1)/vi;
So that they are in concentration, as needed. However, when it comes to sensitivity analysis because I have corrected them post-model it is technically incorrect, it is analysing the absolute quantities. This is quite noticible in the sensitivity to the volumes.
Is there an easy fix to this, I've had to fight dimensionality with units in the past using simbio and I'd be great if there was some way of dividing a compartment output by a volume, for example. It is a functionality that exists in monolix, so I was hopeful it might here!
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I think I've worked it out, I had to refactor my model to operate in concentrations, just refitting it now. Now I should just be able to use unitless compartments.

I am trying to simulate model of blood lymphocyte count from a paper using Simbiology. The rate of in or out following circadian rythym is kp(t)=km + kb cos [(t-tpeak)*2pi/24] Where and how do I write the expression ? I dont think I can write in repeated assignment ?
I am currently facing a compatibility issue when attempting to load a SimBiology model created in MATLAB 2021a into MATLAB 2023a. Specifically, the code capture functionality does not seem to be working.
If anyone has encountered a similar situation or has insights on how to capture the code for a SimBiology model created in an older version of MATLAB, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Are there any alternative methods or specific steps that can be followed to ensure successful code capture?
Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Dear community,
I would like to develop a fermentation model with 4 ODEs, one of which contains variable y. A "repeated assignment", e. g. y=5x+5, contains variable x that has been measured each second. These data (columns with time and corresponding value x in each row) are recorded in the Excel file.
Does anyone have any suggestion how to implement this in symbiology?
Thank you very much in advance,
Tetiana

Hi,
I want to develop a PK model based on some PK data. The PK data seems to display 2 peaks when one initial dose is given.
I would like to give one dose. A fraction of this dose (fr) is absorbed following the linear relationship - ka*Drug the other fraction (1-fr) is absorbed following a linear absorption (ka1*Drug) with a Tlag (it maybe a zero order). The fraction fr is unknown so it must be estimate.
Does anyone have can provide any suggestion to implement this in symbiology or provide a link where I can look?
Thank you very much in advance,
Ferran
I have a species which is absorbed in a zero-order manner. I want to model the reaction rate as "UptakeRate*ActiveState". So I can give value of 1 or 0 to ActivateState to control the active state of this process. The species itself is under control multiple processes, so I want to use Event to automatically change the active state of absorption.
However, when I use these two events:
Event 1,trigger: species > 0, Function: ActiveState =1; Event 2, trigger: species <=0, Function: ActiveState=0
The simulation seems to be stuck without stop.
Is there any way to solve this ? Thanks
Hi,
Im a new user of simbiology, can any one tell me How to fix a parameters to a known constant when estimating models.

Hello,
In the previous versions, we were able to change the reaction line properties to Reactant, Product, or Reactant and Product. This option is not available in 2021b. How do we change the proerpties if we reaction line is both Reactant and Product?
Thanks

Simulations and model results do not get exported to the MATLAB workspace automatically. 2021b. Under Model Analyzer preferences, I checked "export results when model run is complete", but to no effect. I have to manually expert simulations after each run. Please advise. Thanks RD

Hello

I would like to pulse an input species. I read in the forums that repeated assignments can be used for this, but I am not exactly sure how to implement this. This is the MATLAB code that resembles what I would like the input pattern to be:

t = 0:1/1e3:60;
d = [10:2:30]';
x = @rectpuls;
y = pulstran(t,d,x);
plot(t,y)
hold off
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Waveform')

Thanks for any help! Aaron

Hello, We would like to share one of our QSP models with non-modeler colleagues for them to play with. Is there a simple way to generate a standalone app from a SimBiology model, with sliders allowing the user to change various parameter values?

Thank you,

Abed

Hello, Does the 'sbiofit' function have functionality implemented for likelihood=based handling of BLoQ censored data, similar to functionality in NONMEM and other softwares? If not, are there plans to implement this?

Thanks,

Abed

Hello,

I recently downloaded the GlobalSensitivityAnalysisApp. I am trying to perform a GSA using a simbiology model. I try running the App, but I get the error "No Sobol Indices Available to Plot. Configure the Sobol section and click the Compute button." I'm not sure if there is a step I'm overlooking. I'm following the instructional video for this app on the Matlab website, and I'm not sure what Configure the Sobol section is referring to. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

How can I add the value of the error for each estimated parameter?

Hi, all

Recently I read the book "Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling and Simulations: Principles, Methods, and Applications in the Pharmaceutical Industry" and find this state,"Since the unbound concentrations in plasma and blood are expected to be the same, fub , fup , and R are related as follows: R=Cb/Cp=(Cub·fup)/(Cup·fub) and R=fup/fub". I don't know whether it is reasonable to generally assume unbound concentrations in plasma and blood to be the same since components in whole blood and plasma are not the same. Is it common to see this equality in real situation?

Thanks for comment.

Hello,

We're working with a vendor to expand one of our current models that's written in SimBiology, but that vendor doesn't have a license to SimBiology. It would be nice if there existed a "Simbiology Viewer" which can be downloaded as a free Matlab package, and which would allow one to view but not edit SimBiology models. Are there any plans for something like this in the future? Something like this would make it much easier to share our models with people who don't have a license to SimBiology.

On a similar note, does anyone have any advice on the best ways to share SimBiology models currently? I noticed there's some functionality to export the tables of reactions, parameters, species, etc., and there's also some functionality to export the model into SBML.

Thank you,

Abed

Hi, all friends,

I want to record the fraction of drug absorbed in each intestinal segment, so I define a set of parameters with rate rule like: AbFraction_Colon= ((PeffColon*2/organismRadiusColon+paracellularAbsorption*organismFluxMucosaSerosa/Colon)*Colon.DrugDissolved)*Colon/InitialDose The attached figure shows the simulation result that overall PK profile (purple) seems OK, but I don't know why the absorption fraction line (red) starts from value of 1. Does anyone know the cause?

By the way, I am using model modified from "generic PBPK model"

Thanks for comment.
