Abstract

This paper explores the impact of various decisions in estimating parameters from experimental tumour growth data on the outcome of the analysis using five mechanistic mathematical models (MMs) with increasing complexity. A framework is proposed to include censored data (measurements outside detection limits), demonstrating how its exclusion leads to biased estimations of initial tumour volume, carrying capacity, and model-predicted tumour volumes. The influence of prior choices on posterior distributions is highlighted, emphasizing the potential for misleading interpretations when only reporting most likely parameters and their 95% credible intervals.
