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 1.

Here is an overview of the proposed workflow: flowchart

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
  • Individual parameter estimation
    • Conditional distribution sampling: the posterior conditional distribution may directly be sampled using Metropolis-Hastings algorithm
    • Empirical Bayesian Estimators (EBEs) or Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimates: these values represent the mode of the conditional distribution for each parameter and each patient. The current implementation is sub-optimal for torch surrogate models as it does not leverage the gradient predictions.
  • Diagnostics:
    • Post-inference diagnostics are available, and different type sof weighted residuals may be plotted (IWRES, PWRES, NPDE)

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

QSPC26 poster

This work was presented at QSPC2026 in Leiden, and all the corresponding material is introduced in this document. The benchmark notebooks for standard data sets are available directly for orange trees and theophylline.

The poster itself is available in this document. The full list of references is available in this document.

Roadmap

Here are a few planned features, in an unordered and non-exhaustive list:

  • NLME:
    • Support additional error models (additive-multiplicative, power, etc...)
    • Support additional covariate models (categorical covariates)
    • Compute likelihood via importance sampling following population parameters optimization
  • Structural models:
    • Integrate with SBML models (e.g. Roadrunner)
  • Surrogate models:
    • Support additional surrogate models in PyTorch
  • Optimizer:
    • Add preconditioned Stochastic-Gradient-Descent (SGD) method for surrogate model optimization
