The Fisher information matrix (FIM) plays a key role in the analysis and applications of statistical image reconstruction methods based on Poisson data models. The elements of the FIM are a function of the reciprocal of the mean values of sinogram elements. Conventional plug-in FIM estimation methods do not work well at low counts, where the FIM estimate is highly sensitive to the reciprocal mean estimates at individual detector pairs. A generalized error look-up table (GELT) method is developed to estimate the reciprocal of the mean of the sinogram data. This approach is also extended to randoms precorrected data. Based on these techniques, an accurate FIM estimate is obtained for both Poisson and randoms precorrected data. As an application, the new GELT method is used to improve resolution uniformity and achieve near-uniform image resolution in low count situations.

Reducing Structural Nonidentifiabilities in Upstream Bioprocess Models Using Profile-Likelihood.

Process models are increasingly used to support upstream process development in the biopharmaceutical industry for process optimization, scale-up and to reduce experimental effort. Parametric unstructured models based on biological mechanisms are highly promising, since they do not require large amounts of data. The critical part in the application is the certainty of the parameter estimates, since uncertainty of the parameter estimates propagates to model predictions and can increase the risk associated with those predictions.

In this study, we aim to validate the analytical Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) equation for determining attenuation coefficients using a 1310 nm Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system. Our experimental results successfully confirm the validity of the equation, achieving unprecedented precision with a standard deviation below 0.01 mm for intralipid samples.

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for practical identifiability analysis to evaluate parameter identifiability in mathematical models of biological systems. Starting with a rigorous mathematical definition of practical identifiability, we demonstrate its equivalence to the invertibility of the Fisher Information Matrix.

Virus population dynamics are driven by counter-balancing forces of production and loss. Whereas viral production arises from complex interactions with susceptible hosts, the loss of infectious virus particles is often approximated as a first-order kinetic process. As such, experimental protocols to measure infectious virus loss are not typically designed to identify non-exponential decay processes.

Background: Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (t-mAbs) may interfere with electrophoresis-based methods used to monitor multiple myeloma (MM), which can create inaccurate results. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is an alternative to gels distinguishing between endogenous M-proteins and t-mAbs based on molecular mass.
Methods: Serum samples (n = 109) from 34 MM patients receiving Dara-KRd were collected 14 or 28 days postdaratumumab administration.
