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.

The approach was mainly inspired from [^Grenier2018].

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, see the dedicated doc:
  • 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
  • Optimization of random and fixed effects using repeated longitudinal data

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

Roadmap

• NLME:
  • Support additional error models (additive-multiplicative, power, etc...)
  • Support additional covariate models (categorical covariates)
  • Add residual diagnostic methods (weighted residuals computation and visualization)
• Structural models:
  • Integrate with SBML models (Roadrunner)
• Surrogate models:
  • Support additional surrogate models in PyTorch
• Optimizer:
  • Add preconditioned Stochastic-Gradient-Descent (SGD) method for surrogate model optimization
