In the paper some quantitative criteria for evaluating alternative linear model structures are presented and applied to two metabolic systems. Linear time-invariant structured models and input/output descriptions are proposed for the two metabolic processes considered, bilirubin and riphamicin kinetics, and maximum likelihood parameter estimates are obtained from input/output test data. The considered criteria include model plausibility and quantitative measures, e.g. the F-test, Akaike information criterion and the inverse of the information matrix, which are based on the results of model identification from input/output data. The combined use of the Akaike criterion and of the inverse of the information matrix proves to be, in conjunction with model plausibility, a very reliable tool in the metabolic model structure determination.

Abstract
In the paper some quantitative criteria for evaluating alternative linear model structures are presented and applied to two metabolic systems. Linear time-invariant structured models and input/output descriptions are proposed for the two metabolic processes considered, bilirubin and riphamicin kinetics, and maximum likelihood parameter estimates are obtained from input/output test data. The considered criteria include model plausibility and quantitative measures, e.g. the F-test, Akaike information criterion and the inverse of the information matrix, which are based on the results of model identification from input/output data. The combined use of the Akaike criterion and of the inverse of the information matrix proves to be, in conjunction with model plausibility, a very reliable tool in the metabolic model structure determination.Pubblicazioni consigliate
