        # PEtab --- a data format for specifying parameter estimation problems in systems biology
        
        This repository describes *PEtab* --- a data format for specifying parameter 
        estimation problems in systems biology, provides a Python library for easy 
        access and validation of *PEtab* files. See 
        [doc/documentation_data_format.md](doc/documentation_data_format.md) for more 
        info.
        
        ## About PEtab
        
        PEtab is built around [SBML](http://sbml.org/) and based on tab-separated values 
        (TSV) files. It is meant as a standardized way to provide information for 
        parameter estimation which is out of the current scope of SBML. This includes
        for example:
        
          - Specifying and linking measurements to models
        
            - Defining model outputs
        
            - Specifying noise models
        
          - Specifying parameter bounds for optimization
        
          - Specifying multiple simulation condition with potentially shared parameters

        ## Using PEtab
        
        If you would like to use PEtab yourself, please have a look at 
        [doc/documentation_data_format.md](doc/documentation_data_format.md) or at
        the example models provided in the 
        [benchmark problem collection](https://github.com/LoosC/Benchmark-Models).
        
        To convert your existing parameter estimation problem to the PEtab format, you 
        will have to:
        
        1. Specify your model in SBML
        
        1. Set up model outputs and noise model using `AssignmentRule`s as described in 
          the PEtab documentation
        
        1. Create a condition table, if appropriate
        
        1. Create a table of measurements
        
        1. Create a parameter table
        
        If you are using Python, some handy functions of the PEtab library can help 
        you with that. This include also a PEtab validator called `petablint.py` which
        you can use to check if your files adhere to the PEtab standard. If you have 
        further questions regarding PEtab, feel free to post an 
        [issue](https://github.com/ICB-DCM/PEtab/issues) at our github repository.
        
        ## PEtab Python library
        
        PEtab comes with a Python package for creating, checking, and working with 
        PEtab files. This library is available on pypi and the easiest way to install 
        it is running
        
            pip3 install petab
            
        It will require Python3.6 to run.
        
        When setting up a new parameter estimation problem, the most useful tools will
        be:
        
          - The PEtab validator `bin/petablint.py`
        
          - `petab.core.create_parameter_df` to create the parameter table, once you
            have set up the model, condition table and measurement table
        
        
        ## Extending PEtab
        
        We are aware of the fact that PEtab may not serve everybody's needs. If you 
        have a suggestion of how to extend PEtab, feel free to post an issue at our 
        github repository.
