چکیده
where k is the rate constant. The stochastic approach to chemical kinetics is concerned with modeling chemical reactions in situations where the assumptions underlying equations of this type break down. In order to illustrate this, suppose that the reaction above is occuring in a drop of water of volume V , which contains only a very small number, say 3, of molecules of I. The kinetic equation above encounters the following complications:

Sensitivity, robustness, and identifiability in stochastic chemical kinetics models.
We present a novel and simple method to numerically calculate Fisher information matrices for stochastic chemical kinetics models. The linear noise approximation is used to derive model equations and a likelihood function that leads to an efficient computational algorithm. Our approach reduces the problem of calculating the Fisher information matrix to solving a set of ordinary differential equ...
متن کاملNumerical methods for stochastic simulation of biochemical systems
Stochastic simulation of complex biochemical networks is a topic of current interest, in spite of the importance of the Gillespie algorithm it requires substantial amount of computational effort to simulate a complex system, Many algorithms are available now to control the two most important parameters in simulation: speed and accuracy. It can be proved that the stochastic modelling approach pr...
متن کاملDiscrete Stochastic Models in Continuous Time for Ecology
Discrete stochastic models in continuous time are the simplest way to turn survival analysis of an ecological system into a simulation of that system. They build models most faithful to a picture of individuals making choices which affect each other. This article describes how rules for individual behavior can construct a simulation of a population. It argues that, within the context of discret...
متن کاملStochastic simulation of chemical kinetics.
Stochastic chemical kinetics describes the time evolution of a well-stirred chemically reacting system in a way that takes into account the fact that molecules come in whole numbers and exhibit some degree of randomness in their dynamical behavior. Researchers are increasingly using this approach to chemical kinetics in the analysis of cellular systems in biology, where the small molecular popu...
متن کاملCERENA: ChEmical REaction Network Analyzer—A Toolbox for the Simulation and Analysis of Stochastic Chemical Kinetics
Gene expression, signal transduction and many other cellular processes are subject to stochastic fluctuations. The analysis of these stochastic chemical kinetics is important for understanding cell-to-cell variability and its functional implications, but it is also challenging. A multitude of exact and approximate descriptions of stochastic chemical kinetics have been developed, however, tools ...
