Consistent robustness analysis (CRA) identifies biologically relevant properties of regulatory network models.

<h4>Background</h4>A number of studies have previously demonstrated that "goodness of fit" is insufficient in reliably classifying the credibility of a biological model. Robustness and/or sensitivity analysis is commonly employed as a secondary method for evaluating the suitabi...
