Ideally it would be possible to find parameter estimates for every parameter in that model, but, in some cases, this is not possible. For example, two parameters that only ever appear in the model as a product could not be estimated individually; only the product can be estimated. Such a model is said to be parameter redundant, or the parameters are described as non-identifiable. This book explains why parameter redundancy and non-identifiability is a problem and the different methods that can be used for detection, including in a Bayesian context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features of this book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed discussion of the problems caused by parameter redundancy and non-identifiability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplanation of the different general methods for detecting parameter redundancy and non-identifiability, including symbolic algebra and numerical methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter on Bayesian identifiability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThroughout illustrative examples are used to clearly demonstrate each problem and method.
