Abstract
In vitro experiments were conducted in this work to analyze the proliferation of tumor (DU-145) and normal (macrophage RAW 264.7) cells under the influence of a chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin). Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) was used to select among four competing models to represent the number of cells and to estimate the model parameters, based on the experimental data. For one case, the selected model was validated in a replicated experiment, through the solution of a state estimation problem with a particle filter algorithm, thus demonstrating the robustness of the ABC procedure used in this work.
