Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Nonlinear mixed-effects models are widely used in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and population dynamics.
  • Bayesian experimental design offers a principled approach to optimize data collection for such models.
  • Challenges exist in establishing theoretical guarantees for Bayesian design, especially concerning risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Bayesian experimental design for nonlinear mixed-effects models.
  • To establish the existence of posterior and preposterior risks under various prior distribution scenarios.
  • To provide a practical demonstration through a case study in population HIV dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical investigation of Bayesian experimental design principles.

  • Application of the developed methodology to a population HIV dynamics model.

    • Main Results:

    • Existence of the posterior risk for parameter estimation in Bayesian analysis of nonlinear mixed-effects models is demonstrated.
    • Existence of the preposterior risk for design is proven when the same prior distribution is used for both design and inference.
    • Sufficient conditions for the existence of the preposterior risk for design are established when different prior distributions are used for design and inference.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides theoretical foundations for Bayesian experimental design in complex nonlinear mixed-effects models.
    • The existence of risks is confirmed, enabling the development of optimal experimental designs.
    • The HIV dynamics case study validates the practical applicability of the proposed Bayesian design framework.
