Mathematical models are the only realistic method for representing the integrated dynamic behavior of complex biochemical networks. However, it is difficult to obtain a consistent set of values for the parameters that characterize such a model. Even when a set of parameter values exists, the accuracy of the individual values is questionable. Therefore, we were motivated to explore statistical techniques for analyzing the properties of a given model when knowledge of the actual parameter values is lacking.
