Abstract
One of the main goals of computational biology is to develop realistic models of cells, such that their behaviour can be studied in silico (i.e. in a computer simulation) and conclusions can be drawn on the actual biological phenomena we are considering. A perturbation, in this work, is defined as a change in the external environment or in the inner mechanisms of the cell. In order to produce actionable simulations it's imperative that the response of a model to a perturbation is as close as possible to what happens in reality. The aim of this work is to establish a metric of evaluation of different models, able to discern which among them behaves most similarly to experimental results.
As we will see there is no agreed upon method in the literature, and the commonly employed strategies have some disadvantages that will be highlighted and improved upon
