Vpop calibration

Description

A set of Python tools to allow for virtual population calibration, using a non-linear mixed effects (NLME) model approach, combined with surrogate models in order to speed up the simulation of QSP models.

Currently available features

• Surrogate modeling using gaussian processes, implemented using GPyTorch
• Synthetic data generation using ODE models. The current implementation uses scipy.integrate.solve_ivp, parallelized with multiprocessing
• Non-linear mixed effect models:
  • Log-distributed parameters
  • Additive or multiplicative error model
  • Covariates handling
  • Known individual patient descriptors (i.e. covariates with no effect on other descriptors outside of the structural model)
• SAEM: see the dedicated doc for more details

Getting started

• Tutorial: this notebook demonstrates step-by-step how to create and train a surrogate model, using a reference ODE model and a GP surrogate model. It then showcases how to optimize the surrogate model on synthetic data using SAEM
• Other available examples:
  • Data generation using Sobol sequences
  • Data generation using a reference NLME model
  • Training and exporting a GP using synthetic data
  • Running SAEM on a reference ODE model. Note: the current implementation is notably under-optimized for running SAEM directly on an ODE structural model. This is implemented for testing purposes mostly
  • Training a GP with a deep kernel
