Frequently asked questions

 

What is the difference between experiments and stimuli?

Two stimuli of the same experiment have

• the same initial values for all species,
• the same kinetic and scaling parameters,
• the same units for the observables,
• maybe different driving input functions.

Two experiments may be different in all aspects. Each initial value, kinetic and scaling parameter can individually be forced to have the same value for all experiments if the fit setting is 'global'. One data file per experiment is required, which may comprise one or more stimuli.
