England in New Zealand: Joe Root's side toil as BJ Watling hits century at Mount Maunganui
by Matthew Henry| First Test, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, day three of five: |
| England 353: Stokes 91, Denly 74; Southee 4-88 |
| New Zealand 394-6: Watling 119*, De Grandhomme 65, Williamson 51 |
| New Zealand lead by 41 runs |
| Scorecard |
England toiled on day three of the first Test as BJ Watling's unbeaten century put New Zealand in control.
Only two wickets fell all day as the Black Caps closed 41 runs ahead on 394-6, having begun 209 behind.
Joe Root dismissed Henry Nicholls lbw in the morning session but afterwards Watling and Colin de Grandhomme put on 119 in an excellent 39-over stand.
De Grandhomme was brilliantly caught by Dom Sibley for 65 off Ben Stokes but Watling batted all day for 119 not out.
He was dropped on 31 by Stokes but batted patiently and in the evening session was supported by Mitchell Santner, who made 31 in an unbroken partnership of 78.
England began the day eyeing a sizeable first-innings lead but their lack of potency leaves New Zealand more likely to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, although the docile pitch at Mount Maunganui showed a surprising lack of deterioration.
Familiar problems for England
England's lack of threat with the ball was an all too familiar sight for Root's side in Test matches overseas.
As they did in the 2017-18 Ashes series, England failed to create chances on a flat pitch with little movement in the air or off the pitch.
It was hoped Jofra Archer would bring extra thrust to England's attack with his pace but on this occasion he was well below his best and remains wicketless - his speeds lower than he managed during this summer's Ashes, one quick spell aside.
Root opted to begin the day with Stuart Broad and Sam Curran, rather than the Sussex fast bowler, and used the same pair with the second new ball, but neither struck as the pitch showed no further examples of the uneven bounce that saw Curran dismiss New Zealand captain Kane Williamson late on day two.
The second new ball brought no increase in threat and England soon turned to defensive fields in the afternoon session, while they also seemed to lack energy with a number of misfields and a second difficult drop by Rory Burns off De Grandhomme.
They bowled wide of off stump and failed to take a wicket in a session when bowling 20 overs or more for the 29th time since 2017. Only Sri Lanka (32) have done so more often in that time.
De Grandhomme hit a long hop from Stokes to Sibley, who dived brilliantly low to his right to take the catch, on the first ball after tea but Root's side failed to take advantage of that opening.
Number eight Santner was peppered with short balls early on but after uneasily battling through that period he made it to the close with relative ease.
Late on Watling was given out lbw to Archer but he successfully overturned the decision on review as replays showed an inside edge.
Watling shows England the way
The day will feel more painful for England given the fact centurion Watling should have been dismissed when New Zealand were still 157 runs behind their first innings score.
Stokes put down a regulation catch at slip off Root but afterwards Watling batted beautifully for his eighth Test century.
He took his time and did not offer another chance, nudging the ball around the ground with some pleasing drives through extra cover.
The 34-year-old took a backseat as De Grandhomme upped the scoring after lunch but, where England's batsmen fell after making a start, he went on to make a century, batting just short of seven hours.
New Zealand will now look to bat England out of the game on day four.
'England's hardest day for a while' - reaction
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew, on Test Match Special: "England will not look back on this day with any affection at all - that was their hardest day for a while."
Former England batsman Mark Ramprakash: "It's a placid, benign pitch but England got their tactics wrong - they overdid the short ball and put men back when New Zealand's batsmen were not looking to hook or pull."
New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling: "It was very special, I love scoring runs for New Zealand and it was good to get us into a position of parity and hopefully we can take it forward.
"We have to eke out as many runs as possible because it's going to be really tough batting on day five here."
England head coach Chris Silverwood: "I wouldn't say we are out of the game yet. They have a small lead. If we show the same attitude there is no reason we can't pick some wickets up."

Converts a double-precision floating-point value in the “convert-from” source operand (the second operand in SSE2 version, otherwise the third operand) to a single-precision floating-point value in the destination operand.
When the “convert-from” operand is an XMM register, the double-precision floating-point value is contained in the low quadword of the register. The result is stored in the low doubleword of the destination operand. When the conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The “convert-from” source operand (the second operand) is an XMM register or memory location. Bits (MAXVL-1:32) of the corresponding destination register remain unchanged. The destination operand is an XMM register.
VEX.128 and EVEX encoded versions: The “convert-from” source operand (the third operand) can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. Bits (127:32) of the XMM register destination are copied from the corresponding bits in the first source operand. Bits (MAXVL-1:128) of the destination register are zeroed.
EVEX encoded version: the converted result in written to the low doubleword element of the destination under the writemask.
Software should ensure VCVTSD2SS is encoded with VEX.L=0. Encoding VCVTSD2SS with VEX.L=1 may encounter unpredictable behavior across different processor generations.

Module std.range.primitives
This module is a submodule of std.range.
It provides basic range functionality by defining several templates for testing
whether a given object
is a range, and what kind of range it is:
|
Tests if something is an input rangedefined to be
something from which one can sequentially read data using the
primitives , , and .
|
|
Tests if something is an output range, defined to be
something to which one can sequentially write data using the
primitive.
|
|
Tests if something is a forward range, defined to be an
input range with the additional capability that one can save one's
current position with the primitive, thus allowing one to
iterate over the same range multiple times.
|
|
Tests if something is a bidirectional range, that is, a
forward range that allows reverse traversal using the primitives and .
|
|
Tests if something is a random access range, which is a
bidirectional range that also supports the array subscripting
operation via the primitive opIndex .
|
It also provides number of templates that test for various range capabilities:
|
Tests if a given range's elements can be moved around using the
primitives
, or .
|
|
Returns the element type of a given range. |
|
Returns the encoding element type of a given range. |
|
Tests if a range is a forward range with swappable elements. |
|
Tests if a range is a forward range with mutable elements. |
|
Tests if a range is a forward range with elements that can be passed by reference and have their address taken. |
|
Tests if a given range has the length attribute.
|
|
Tests if a given range is an infinite range. |
|
Tests if a given range supports the array slicing operation R[x..y] .
|
Finally, it includes some convenience functions for manipulating ranges:
|
Advances a given range by up to n elements. |
|
Advances a given bidirectional range from the right by up to n elements. |
|
Advances a given range by up exactly n elements. |
|
Advances a given bidirectional range from the right by exactly n elements. |
|
Removes the front element of a range.
|
|
Removes the back element of a bidirectional range.
|
|
Removes the i'th element of a random-access range. |
|
Computes the length of any range in O(n) time. |
Functions

empty
|
Implements the range interface primitive for built-in
arrays. Due to the fact that nonmember functions can be called with
the first argument using the dot notation, array.empty is
equivalent to .
|
front
|
Implements the range interface primitive for built-in
arrays. Due to the fact that nonmember functions can be called with
the first argument using the dot notation, array.front is
equivalent to . For narrow strings, automatically returns the first code point as a dchar .

popBack
|
Implements the range interface primitive for built-in
arrays. Due to the fact that nonmember functions can be called with
the first argument using the dot notation, array.popBack is
equivalent to . For narrow strings, automatically eliminates the last code point.
|
popBackExactly
|
Eagerly advances itself (not a copy) exactly times (by
calling r.popFront ). takes by ref ,
so it mutates the original range. Completes in Ο(1 ) steps for ranges
that support slicing, and have either length or are infinite.
Completes in Ο( ) time for all other ranges.
|
popBackN
|
Eagerly advances itself (not a copy) up to times (by
calling r.popFront ). takes by ref ,
so it mutates the original range. Completes in Ο(1 ) steps for ranges
that support slicing and have length.
Completes in Ο( ) time for all other ranges.
|
popFront
|
Implements the range interface primitive for built-in
arrays. Due to the fact that nonmember functions can be called with
the first argument using the dot notation, array.popFront is
equivalent to . For narrow strings,
automatically advances to the next code
point.
|
popFrontExactly
|
Eagerly advances itself (not a copy) exactly times (by
calling r.popFront ). takes by ref ,
so it mutates the original range. Completes in Ο(1 ) steps for ranges
that support slicing, and have either length or are infinite.
Completes in Ο( ) time for all other ranges.
|
popFrontN
|
Eagerly advances itself (not a copy) up to times (by
calling r.popFront ). takes by ref ,
so it mutates the original range. Completes in Ο(1 ) steps for ranges
that support slicing and have length.
Completes in Ο( ) time for all other ranges.
|
put
|
Outputs to . The exact effect is dependent upon the two
types. Several cases are accepted, as described below. The code snippets
are attempted in order, and the first to compile "wins" and gets
evaluated.
|
save
|
Implements the range interface primitive for built-in
arrays. Due to the fact that nonmember functions can be called with
the first argument using the dot notation, array.save is
equivalent to . The function does not duplicate the
content of the array, it simply returns its argument.
|
walkLength
|
This is a best-effort implementation of length for any kind of
range .
|
Templates
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
ElementEncodingType
|
The encoding element type of R . For narrow strings (char[] ,
wchar[] and their qualified variants including string and
wstring ), is the character type of the
string. For all other types, is the same as
.
|
ElementType
|
The element type of R . R does not have to be a range. The
element type is determined as the type yielded by r.front for an
object r of type R . For example, is
T if T[] isn't a narrow string; if it is, the element type is
dchar . If R doesn't have , is
void .
|
isInfinite
|
Returns true if R is an infinite input range. An
infinite input range is an input range that has a statically-defined
enumerated member called that is always false ,
for example:
|
Enum values
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
hasAssignableElements
|
Returns true if R is an input range and has mutable
elements. The following code should compile for any range
with assignable elements.
|
|
hasLength
|
Returns true if R has a length member that returns an
integral type. R does not have to be a range. Note that length is an optional primitive as no range must implement it. Some
ranges do not store their length explicitly, some cannot compute it
without actually exhausting the range (e.g. socket streams), and some
other ranges may be infinite.
|
|
hasLvalueElements
|
Tests whether the range R has lvalue elements. These are defined as
elements that can be passed by reference and have their address taken.
The following code should compile for any range with lvalue elements.
|
|
hasMobileElements
|
Returns true iff R is an input range that supports the
primitive, as well as and if it's a
bidirectional or random access range. These may be explicitly implemented, or
may work via the default behavior of the module level functions
and friends. The following code should compile for any range
with mobile elements.
|
|
hasSlicing
|
Returns true if R offers a slicing operator with integral boundaries
that returns a forward range type.
|
|
hasSwappableElements
|
Returns true if R is an input range and has swappable
elements. The following code should compile for any range
with swappable elements.
|
|
isBidirectionalRange
|
Returns true if R is a bidirectional range. A bidirectional
range is a forward range that also offers the primitives and
. The following code should compile for any bidirectional
range.
|
|
isForwardRange
|
Returns true if R is a forward range. A forward range is an
input range r that can save "checkpoints" by saving r.save
to another value of type R . Notable examples of input ranges that
are not forward ranges are file/socket ranges; copying such a
range will not save the position in the stream, and they most likely
reuse an internal buffer as the entire stream does not sit in
memory. Subsequently, advancing either the original or the copy will
advance the stream, so the copies are not independent.
|
|
isInputRange
|
Returns true if R is an input range. An input range must
define the primitives , , and . The
following code should compile for any input range.
|
|
isOutputRange
|
Returns true if R is an output range for elements of type
E . An output range is defined functionally as a range that
supports the operation as defined above.
|
|
isRandomAccessRange
|
Returns true if R is a random-access range. A random-access
range is a bidirectional range that also offers the primitive opIndex , OR an infinite forward range that offers opIndex . In
either case, the range must either offer length or be
infinite. The following code should compile for any random-access
range.

We can decide how many bars we want our model to infill in the missing segment. Here, we provide examples of our models to generate 1 bar to 4 bars to connect the contexts.


hlStickyElement
Makes an element sticky programmatically. The service is a function and you need to make an instance to use it.
This service is heavily used by the hlSticky
directive. So if you simple want to use a directive, that might be easier for you.
One reason is because you'll need to manually draw the sticky object as can be seen from this demo. In most cases you'll not need that.
var stickyElementInstance = hlStickyElement(element:DOMElement, options:object); stickyElementInstance.draw(drawOptions:object); stickyElementInstance.destroy();
hlStickyElement(element:DOMElement, options:object)
element
A DOM element object. This should either be a jQuery/jqLite object or an Angular element.
options
An object with a bunch of options that determine the behavior of the sticky element:
id
(Default: none) - Determines the identifier of the sticky element.
Most of the time you won't need this, but sometimes it's handy to set it. For example if you want to retrieve a sticky element from a stack. If this is not set, the identifier will default to the index it has in the stack.
stack
(Default: none) - Supplies a hlStickyStack
instance the element will be added to.
This will allow you to make use of the lower-level methods in the hlStickyStack
. Or you can give a stack if you simply don't want to use the default hlStickyStack
.
mediaQuery
(Default: none) - Enables/disables the sticky element based on a media query.
Check out the media query demo.
Or learn more about media queries in general.
stickyClass
(Default: 'is-sticky') - Adds custom classes to the sticky element when it becomes sticky.
usePlaceholder
(Default: true) - Prevent the dom from collapsing on itself.
When a sticky element becomes sticky its position becomes fixed
.
It is no longer part of the DOM in terms of other DOM element respecting it's dimensions and the elements underneath the sticky will suddenly jump a little.
To compensate for this an invisible placeholder is created with the height of the sticky element.
anchor
(Default: 'top') - Determines to what edge the sticky element should stick.
top
can be used at this moment.offsetTop
(Default: 0) - Adds offset to the top of the sticky element to act as margin.anchor
must be set to top
to make it work.offsetBottom
(Default: 0) - Adds offset to the bottom of the sticky element to act as margin.anchor
must be set to bottom
to make it work.container
(Default: None) - Id of a DOM element that you want the sticky element to be constrained to.Check out the container demo.
Once you have an instance a few methods are made available to you.
draw(drawOptions:object)
A DOM element object. This should either be a jQuery/jqLite object or an Angular element.
drawOptions
{ offset: { top:int, bottom:int, zIndex:int }, force:boolean }
offset.top
(Default: 0) - Gives the sticky element additional offset from the top.
Perhaps not extremely useful when using single sticky elements, but the hlStickyElementCollection
service is using this for parent collections to accommodate for the stack height.
offset.bottom
(Default: 0) - Gives the sticky element additional offset from the bottom.
Perhaps not extremely useful when using single sticky elements, but the hlStickyElementCollection
service is using this for parent collections to accommodate for the stack height.
offset.zIndex
(Default: none) - Allows for altered z-indexes.
Read more about the z-indexes at the hlStickyStack
service
force
(Default: false) - Forces a complete re-draw.
Sometimes calling draw is not enough, for example during a resize of the viewport in the width dimension only, the element will not get re-drawn as expected. Setting this options to true will simply un-stick the element and re-stick it. You should try to limit using this option because it uses a bit more resources.
destroy()
Destroys the sticky element from the stack it was attached to and it makes sure it un-sticks itself. It is vital you call this method after you for example switch pages in your Angular application, otherwise it might cause weird artifacts on follow up pages.
stickyElementInstance.destroy();

Introduction
Bash is a Unix shell and command language written by Brian Fox for the GNU Project as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell.
A bash script is a series of commands written in a file. These are read and executed by the bash program. The program executes line by line.
Requirement
You need to have a beginner knowledge on the following :
- Text editors (we will be using Visual Studio Code).
- Terminal
- Basic knowledge on Git commands
- An account with Gihub
Procedure
Open your terminal and navigate to the root directory of your project
$ cd Documents/projects/bash
Now create a file called deploy.sh
$ touch deploy.sh
then open the file with Visual Studio Code editor. It should look like the img blow.
| share my created bash file with .sh. |
In the your deploy.sh
file input the following code, I will explain what each line means what it does.
#!/bin/sh
# If a command fails then deploy stops
set -e
printf "\033[0;32mDeploying updates to GitHub...\033[0m\n"
# Build the project.
hugo # if using a theme, replace with `hugo -t <YOURTHEME>`
# Add changes to git.
git add .
# Commit changes.
msg="rebuilding site by $(whoami) $(date)"
if [ -n "$*" ]; then
msg="$*"
fi
git commit -m "$msg"
# Push source and build repos.
git push origin main
After you have added the code to the script you are almost done at this stage.
On you terminal type this
$ chmod +x deploy.sh
After that run this.
$ ./deploy.sh
At this point you will prompted to enter Git username and token.

MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 8.0
Date Released: varies (11/94) Running Length: 2:04 Rated: R (Sex, nudity, language, mature themes)
Starring: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Campbell Scott, Matthew Broderick, Andrew McCarthy, Jennifer Beals, Sam Robards Director: Alan Rudolph Producer: Robert Altman Screenplay: Alan Rudolph and Randy Sue Coburn Cinematography: Jan Kiesser Music: Mark Isham Distributed by Fine Line Features in association with Miramax Films
"[Dorothy Parker] was a groundbreaker in a lot of ways. In her day, to write captions and fashion stories was about all that a woman writer could aspire to. Dorothy had the respect of her peers. But she was also a critic, and I think she worked against herself as an artist in that capacity. We show her once with a note in her typewriter--'Oh God, please let me write like a man.' And what we really remember her for is how much like a woman she wrote." - Randy Sue Coburn, co-writer, MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE is set primarily against the backdrop of the roaring '20s, with critic/poet/writer Dorothy Parker (Jennifer Jason Leigh) as the centerpiece. Parker was by far the best known female member of the famed Algonquin Round Table--a collection of journalists, actors, writers, and other artists who gathered daily for lunch at a 44th Street Manhattan hotel. Also included in the membership of this exclusive circle were Robert Benchley (Campbell Scott), Harold Ross (Sam Robards), and Charles MacArthur (Matthew Broderick). Among their successes, the Algonquin clique could claim Pulitzer Prizes, Oscars, successful stage shows, and bestselling books. To the outside world, they were celebrities; to some on the inside, they were "just a bunch of loudmouths showing off."
Dorothy Parker is perhaps best remembered for her tart sayings and pithy turns of phrase, and that's the tone that this movie initially adopts--playful and clipped. However, as the screenplay delves beneath the surface of its lead character's personality, a grim, more serious mood becomes pervasive, turning Dorothy's witticisms into self- contemptuous jabs or cries for help.
MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE is uncomfortable, as we in the audience are forced to watch someone emotionally drowning without being allowed to throw a life preserver. If, as is asserted, the source of all great literature is "an upheaved soul", then Parker had an endless supply of inspiration, especially as her life became progressively more dissolute (sex and alcohol have always been supposed antidotes to empty existences). Jennifer Jason Leigh, giving the best performance (to date) of a varied career, is tremendous, drawling her lines in a Katherine Hepburn-like voice and expressing pain as much through her eyes as through words and body language. Oscars have been awarded for less.
One of the most difficult tasks for a film maker is to blend comedy seamlessly into a drama. I'm not talking about inserting a few pointed jokes here and there, but incorporating the humor as an integral part of the story--one that makes the serious elements all the more poignant. Director Alan Rudolph (THE MODERNS, EQUINOX) succeeds, creating in MRS. PARKER a picture to both laugh and cry through.
Visually, this is the most interesting and ambitious of Rudolph's projects. The film opens in 1937, with Parker reminiscing about the previous decade. The bulk of the movie is shot in color, but various flash-forwards--to '37, '45, and '58--are photographed in black-and- white. It's a memorable way to structure a motion picture.
Arguments can be made about the historical accuracy of the film. Many of the events related herein are based on Parker's own statements, and she was notorious for exaggerating--if not outright lying--about her past. Regardless of how faithfully it records its title character's life, however, MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE is a top-notch movie. Everything is in place--a striking lead performance, solid supporting players, a well-written script, and, above all, expert direction to merge the ingredients. In a case like this, "truth" may not be the most important factor to consider in the overall evaluation.
The above represents the opinions of the author, and not necessarily those of Bellcore or any organization within Bellcore.

Project Idea
Working on top of this cloud simulation done by Sebastian Lague with Unity, we will add physical simulation of lightning.
Accomplishments and Preliminary Results
video | slides
Clouds
We were able to edit Sebastian Lague's code and generate a smooth transition of clouds between stormy and sunny days (see video).
We first tested and found the cloud parameters (scale and density) that replicates clouds in stormy weather and sunny weather best. Then, we used Unity's Update function to implement a smooth transition between them using linear interpolation.
The results of the weather, stormy and sunny, are shown below:
Lightning
As for lightning simulation, we decided to follow this paper after researching on previous works.
We used LightningBranch script to start from a main "trunk", and then recursively generate the branches. Then we used LightningSegment script to create a cylinder with a purple material to simulate a small segment of the lightning given the starting point, length and direction. We are looking to replace this step with shader rendering in the future.
The result of the lighning are shown below:

[gecode-users] ND constructs in scripts
Filip Konvička
filip.konvicka at logis.cz
Wed Aug 22 20:29:09 CEST 2007
Hi,
I have worked with Mozart previously, and I have helped my colleague to
start with Gecode/J last week - and now I want to finally start using
Gecode myself (the C++ version). Although some concepts look familiar to
me, some do not, and reading through this mailing list archive did not
answer all my questions.
One thing that I'm not sure about is non-deterministic programming
constructs in scripts, like Oz's "choice". I see that C++ is not going
to help here in terms of concurrency/blocking/etc. like Oz does, so I
think that the expressive power of scripts in Gecode is probably weaker
than in Mozart (am I right? no offence! :-)). To be more specific, from
what I understand, such thing as "choice" could be done by cutting the
script at the points of nondeterministic statements, putting the
deterministic parts' bodies in the appropriate functions of some
branchings... (posting a new branching should be done in commit(),
right?). Is this correct?
So my question for now is - do you have a suggestion on how
non-deterministic constructs could be done in scripts, if this can be
done at all?
Please forgive my ignorance, I just do not know what am I
allowed/disallowed to do in respective functions of spaces and branchings.
Thanks,
Filip

Parameter Identifiability and Sloppy Models
Parameter Identifiability
Identifiability Analysis considers the question of whether or not it is possible to infer (i.e., identify) the parameters of a model from data.
When parameters cannot be learned from data, we say they are unidentifiable.
There are two broad types of unidentifiabilities:
- Structural Unidentifability
- Practical Unidentifiability
Structural Identifiability
If parameters cannot be inferred from an infinite amount of perfect data, the model is structurally unidentifiable.
Structurally unidentifiablilities occur when the model makes the same predictions for more than one value of the parameters.
Example: Consider the linear model $y = \left(m_1 m_2 \right) x$.
There are an infinite number of ways to choose $m_1$ and $m_2$ without altering the predictions of the model.
Structural Identifiability
Example: $y = \left(m_1 m_2 \right) x$.
Although the parameter space is two-dimensional, the prediction space is one-dimensional.
In this case, the identifiability is removed by finding an
identifiable combination: $m = m_1 m_2.$
This type of reparameterization is common in physics:
- Charge-mass ratio
- Equivalent resistance, capacitance, etc.
- Bohr radius
Structural Identifiability
Example: $y = e^{-\theta_1 t} + e^{-\theta_2 t}$
This model is also structurally unidentifiable: the model predictions are invariant to permutation of the parameters.
This structural unidentifiability is fundamentally different: both the parameter space and the prediction space are two dimensional. There is no identifiable combination.
The structural identifiability is removed by restricting the domain of the parameter space: $\theta_1 > \theta_2 > 0$.
This model is locally structurally identifiable, but not globally.
Structural Identifiability
Example: $y = A e^{-\theta_1 t}$
Poll: Is this model structurally identifiable?
For generic parameter values, this model is structurally identifiable.
However, there is a pathology when $A = 0$.
There is a breakdown of the manifold structure of the predictions.
Structural Identifiability
Although structural unidentifiabilities are caused by model pathologies, they are not always trivial to recognize.
Example: Hodgkin-Huxley Model
The Hodgkin-Huxley model uses the following motif for each ion channel:
$ b_p e^{-(V - V_{bp})/K_{bp}}$
where $V$ is the voltage and $b_p$, $V_{bp}$ and $K_{bp}$ are parameters.
A little algebra reveals that there is an unidentifiable combinations:
\begin{align}
b_p e^{-(V - V_{bp})/K_{bp}} & = \left( b_p e^{V_{bp}/K_{bp}} \right) e^{-V/K_{bp}} \\
& = \tilde{b}_p e^{-V/K_{bp}}
\end{align}
Practical Identifiability
A model may be structurally identifiable, i.e., it is possible in principle to learn all of the parameters from data. But it may not be practical to do so.
For example, it may require an unreasonable amount of data.
To see how this comes about, we need to review statistics....
Parameter Estimation
Definitions:
| \(D\) | Random Variable (data) |
| \(\theta\) | Parameter(s) |
| \(P(D|\theta)\) | Probability |
| \(\theta^*\) | "True" Parameters |
| \( \hat{\theta} \) | Parameter Estimate |
Problem:
Given observations of the data, \((d_1, d_2, d_3, \dots)\) infer from which values of the parameters, \( \theta^*\), they were generated, i.e., the "true" parameter values.
Estimator: Rule for calcaulating an estimate \(\hat{\theta}\) of \(\theta^*\) from data.
Example: Least Squares Regression
Suppose you measure an observable at distinct times \(t_i\) with measurement uncertainty \(\sigma_i\).
You also have a model of the time series that depends on several parameters:
$ y(t, \theta) = e^{-\theta_1 t} + e^{-\theta_2 t} $
Define a "cost":
$ C(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_i \left( \frac{d_i - y(t_i, \theta)}{\sigma_i} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \sum_i r_i^2 $
The least squares estimator (i.e., the best fit) is the parameter value(s) that minimize the cost.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation
- The least squares estimator is an example of a Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE):
- Given observations of the data \(d = (d_1, d_2, d_3, \dots)\), the likelihood of it having been generated from \(P(D|\theta)\) is
$$ \mathcal{L}(\theta; d) = P(d | \theta) $$
The MLE, $\theta^*$ maximizes $\mathcal{L}$.
- In practice, we usually minimize the negative log-likelihood: $l = \log \mathcal{L}.$
- If $d_i = y(t_i, \theta) + \sigma_i \xi_i$ where $\xi_i \in \mathcal{N}(0, 1)$, then the least squares estimator is the MLE.
Confidence/Credible Regions
- The data $d_i$ carry information about the parameters $\theta$ that were used to generate them.
- This information is incomplete and corrupted by noise.
- Goal: quantify this information.
- How sensitive is our estimator to the data?
- But the data came from the "true" parameter values.
- How sensitive is the model to the parameter values?
Transtrum, Mark K., et al. "Perspective: Sloppiness and emergent theories in physics, biology, and beyond." The Journal of chemical physics 143.1 (2015): 010901.
Score
- The score is a statistic that quantifies the sensitivity of the (log) likelihood to changes in the parameters:
$$V = \frac{\partial \mathcal{l}}{\partial \theta}$$
- The score is a random variable (it is a function of the data).
- Consider moments of the score.
- First moment:
\begin{align}
\langle V \rangle & = \langle \partial \mathcal{l} / \partial \theta \rangle \\
& = \sum_d P(d|\theta) \frac{\partial \log P(d|\theta)}{\partial \theta} \\
& = \sum_d P(d|\theta) \left( \frac{1}{P(d|\theta)} \frac{\partial P(d|\theta)}{\partial \theta} \right) \\
& = \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} \sum_d P(d|\theta) = \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} 1 \\
& = 0
\end{align}
Fisher Information
The second moment of the score is generally not zero.
It is known as the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM), $\mathcal{I}$:
\begin{align}
\mathcal{I}_{\mu\nu} & = \langle V^2 \rangle \\
& = \left\langle \frac{\partial \mathcal{l}}{\partial \theta_\mu} \frac{\partial \mathcal{l}}{\partial \theta_\nu} \right\rangle \\
& = - \left\langle \frac{\partial^2 \mathcal{l}}{\partial \theta_\mu \partial \theta_\nu} \right\rangle
\end{align}
Exerise: Prove the last equality.
FIM and Least Squares
- Recall the residuals $r_i(\theta) = \frac{d_i - y_i(\theta)}{\sigma_i}$, $ C(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_i r_i(\theta)^2$
- By construction, $r_i(\theta) \in \mathcal{N}(0,1)$
- $l(\theta) = -C(\theta) + \textrm{constant}$
$$ \mathcal{I}_{\mu\nu} = \left\langle \frac{\partial l}{\partial \theta_\mu} \frac{\partial l}{\partial \theta_\nu} \right\rangle = \sum_i J_{i\mu} J_{i\nu} = \left( J^T J \right)_{\mu\nu}$$
$$ \frac{\partial^2 C}{\partial \theta_\mu \partial \theta_\nu} = \sum_i \left( J_{i\mu} J_{i \nu} + r_i \frac{\partial^2 r_i}{\partial \theta_\mu \partial \theta_\nu} \right) \approx \mathcal{I}_{\mu\nu}$$
Eigenvalues/Eigenvectors of $\mathcal{I}$ (Hessian) characterize the ellipses of the cost surface around the best fit:
FIM and Cramer-Rao Bound
The Cramer-Rao bound places a lower bound on the covariance of the estimated parameter values.
\begin{align}
Cov \left(\hat{\theta} \right ) & = \frac{1}{n} \mathcal{I}^{-1}
\end{align}
FIM and Relative Entropy
Given two probability distributions that are infinitesimally separated $Q(D|\theta) = P(D|\theta + d \theta)$, then the Kullback-Leibler divergence is (to lowest order) the Fisher Information:
\begin{align}
D_{KL}(P;Q) = d \theta^T \mathcal{I} \, d \theta
\end{align}
Is the FIM fundamental?
FIM and Structural Identifiability
Theorem:* A model is locally structurally identifiable at $\theta_0$ if and only if $\mathcal{I}(\theta_0)$ is non-singular.
In other words, if $\mathcal{I}$ is non-singular, then the manifold of predictions locally has the same dimensionality as the parameter space.
More generally, the dimensionality of the null-space of $\mathcal{I}$ is the number of identifiable combinations that need to be constructed to give an identifiable model.
*Rothenberg, Thomas J. "Identification in parametric models." Econometrica: Journal of the Econometric Society (1971): 577-591.
FIM and Practical Identifiability
If $\mathcal{I}$ has a zero eigenvalue, the the model is structurally unidentifiable.
A natural (possible) extension: If $\mathcal{I}$ has small eigenvalues, then the model is practically unidentifiable.
Cramer-Rao bound: it would take a lot of data to constrain the parameter combinations with projections along the smallest eigendirection.
This way of thinking about practical identifiability is useful, but ultimately incorrect.
Sloppiness
What happens if you have lots of parameters?
Case study: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Signaling*
- 48 Parameters, 68 Data points
- No parameters estimated accurately
- Falsifiable predictions
(Predictions without parameters!)
*Brown, Kevin S., et al. "The statistical mechanics of complex signaling networks: nerve growth factor signaling." Physical biology 1.3 (2004): 184.
Sloppiness and the FIM
The Eigenvalues of the FIM for the EGFR model showed an unusual structure:
- Eigenvalues are uniformly distributed on a log-scale over many decades.
- Usually many small eigenvalues
- No clear distinction between important/unimportant parameter combinations
- Eigenvectors skewed relative to bare parameters.
- Most parameters have projections along sloppy directions.
- No bare parameters can be inferred accurately.
- This structure recurred universally in models from many fields.

Defining Sloppiness?
Some common approaches:
- Range of eigenvalues?
- Distribution of eigenvalues?
- Identifiability rediscovered?
The FIM eigenvalues are an indication of something deeper:
- Predictions without parameters
- Effective theories
- Universality
