Possibly of interest to some... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stuart Moodie <moo...@ebi.ac.uk> Date: Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 12:47 AM Subject: [sbml-discuss] Draft Distrib Package Proposal To: SBML Discussion List <sbml-disc...@caltech.edu>
Dear All, I have been pulling together the current thoughts on the distrib package into a draft proposal document. The document is heavily based on the outcome of discussions at the Statistical models workshop which took place in Hinxton on Jun 2011. You can get the document from here: http://sbml.org/images/1/11/Sbml-level-3-distrib-package-proposal.pdf. For those of you who are unaware of it the distrib package or "Distributions and Ranges" to give it its full name provides: "an extension to SBML Level 3 that supports models that supports variables that cab take many values, for instance random variables obtained from a statistical distribution. Applications of the package include for instance descriptions of the alternative values based on prior knowledge (e.g. experiments), encoding of uncertainty of value and mostly statistical model or models that require the use of random values, such as PK/PD models." There is still a bit or work to do not least because some important issues remain unresolved (mainly because there has been little discussion about them). My hope is that this draft will instigate further discussion about distrib and will lead to the production of a final draft of the proposal in the coming weeks or months. As with all the Level 3 package proposals, distrib has its own mailing list (sbml-dist...@lists.sourceforge.net) and I would urge you to sign up for it as this will be the main forum for discussion about the package specification. If you are unsure whether you are subscribed, then I posted an email to the list at 9:30 GMT today. It's stating the obvious, but if you didn't receive it then you are probably not subscribed. Best wishes, Stuart. --------------------------------- Stuart Moodie Biomodels Team EMBL-EBI Hinxton, UK moo...@ebi.ac.uk ____________________________________________________________ To manage your sbml-discuss list subscription, visit https://utils.its.caltech.edu/mailman/listinfo/sbml-discuss For a web interface to the sbml-discuss mailing list, visit http://sbml.org/Forums/ For questions or feedback about the sbml-discuss list, contact sbml-t...@caltech.edu
