The deterministic identifiability of models is only normally considered if a problem becomes apparent in the parameter identification stage of data analysis. If no problem is perceived then the analysis will continue. However, although the problem does not become apparent, the implications of ambiguities in what is inferred from the data should be considered. This paper reviews some fundamentals with respect to model indistinguishability and parameter identifiability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
