Online Bayesian Time-varying Parameter Estimation of HIV-1 data
Andras Hartmann,

Abstract:
The importance of a system theory based approach in understanding immunological diseases, in particular the HIV-1 infection, is being increasingly recognized. The dynamics of virus infection may be effectively represented by compact state space models in the form of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs).
Nonlinear Bayesian filtering offers various online tools for system identification of parametric ordinary differential equation models. Since parameters may change with time, it is a relevant question to assess how well time-varying parameters can be estimated from data.
For this purpose two different filtering methods, Extended Kalman Filter and Particle Filter were applied for state and time-varying parameter estimation. After evaluating the methods on simulated time-series we applied them to long-term clinical datasets. Estimated time-varying parameters on clinical data are consistent with previously reported results with offline algorithms.

The HUB Winter Meeting aims at bringing together researchers and administrators from the 5 INESC institutes, affiliated higher education institutions in Portugal and abroad, with key European and global players, to:
– Discuss key research and innovation issues at EU level.
– Inform institutional policy and strategy.
– Exchange best-practices about R&I management, career development and policy positioning.
– Promote, discuss and deliver vision, visibility, networking and impactful communication.
– Create, identify and deepen partnerships and collaboration opportunities for collaborative R&I.
