Summary

Statistical and mathematical models are defined by parameters that describe different characteristics of those models. 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.

Parameter Redundancy and Identifiability by Diana Cole

Statistical and mathematical models are defined by parameters that describe different characteristics of those models. 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.
"This is an interesting book which concentrates on a relatively narrow, but certainly important and unfortunately often neglected topic of identifiability in statistical (and generic mathematical) models..In principle, it is certainly accessible to a wide audience, from students to practicing statisticians, or even to quantitatively oriented non-statistical scientists...Very nicely, the book reads somewhat as a story, going from simpler things to the more complicated, ultimately leading to fascinating and far-reaching things like design considerations with respect to extrinsic parameter redundancy, as well as practical implications for what the author calls integrated population models." - Marek Brabec, ISCB News, December 2020

Diana Cole is a Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the University of Kent. She has written and co-authored 15 papers on parameter redundancy and identifiability, including general theory and ecological applications.
