UNLABELLED Here, we present REDEMPTION ( RE: duced D: imension E: nsemble M: odeling and P: arameter estima TION: ), a toolbox for parameter estimation and ensemble modeling of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using time-series data. For models with more reactions than measured species, a common scenario in biological modeling, the parameter estimation is formulated as a nested optimization problem based on incremental parameter estimation strategy. REDEMPTION also includes a tool for the identification of an ensemble of parameter combinations that provide satisfactory goodness-of-fit to the data. The functionalities of REDEMPTION are accessible through a MATLAB user interface (UI), as well as through programming script. For computational speed-up, REDEMPTION provides a numerical parallelization option using MATLAB Parallel Computing toolbox.
