abstract = {High-throughput experimentation has revolutionized
data-driven experimental sciences and opened the door to the
application of machine learning techniques. Nevertheless,
the quality of any data analysis strongly depends on the
quality of the data and specifically the degree to which
random effects in the experimental data-generating process
are quantified and accounted for. Accordingly calibration,
i.e. the quantitative association between observed
quantities with measurement responses, is a core element of
many workflows in experimental sciences. Particularly in
life sciences, univariate calibration, often involving
non-linear saturation effects, must be performed to extract
quantitative information from measured data. At the same
time, the estimation of uncertainty is inseparably connected
to quantitative experimentation. Adequate calibration models
that describe not only the input/output relationship in a
measurement system, but also its inherent measurement noise
are required. Due to its mathematical nature, statistically
robust calibration modeling remains a challenge for many
practitioners, at the same time being extremely beneficial
for machine learning applications. In this work, we present
a bottom-up conceptual and computational approach that
solves many problems of understanding and implementing
non-linear, empirical calibration modeling for
quantification of analytes and process modeling. The
methodology is first applied to the optical measurement of
biomass concentrations in a high-throughput cultivation
system, then to the quantification of glucose by an
automated enzymatic assay. We implemented the conceptual
framework in two Python packages, with which we demonstrate
how it makes uncertainty quantification for various
calibration tasks more accessible. Our software packages
enable more reproducible and automatable data analysis
routines compared to commonly observed workflows in life
sciences. Subsequently, we combine the previously
established calibration models with a hierarchical
Monod-like differential equation model of microbial growth
to describe multiple replicates of Corynebacterium
glutamicum batch microbioreactor cultures. Key process model
parameters are learned by both maximum likelihood estimation
and Bayesian inference, highlighting the flexibility of the
statistical and computational framework.},
