Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter01:26

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

5.0K
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

244
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

351
Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model

298
Drugs administered through various routes can lead to nonlinear elimination, resulting in complex pharmacokinetic behaviors crucial to understanding efficacious drug dosing.
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...

One-Compartment Open Model for IV Bolus Administration: Estimation of Clearance

349
Clearance is a key pharmacokinetic parameter that quantifies the volume of body fluid from which a drug is entirely removed within a specific time frame. It is crucial in assessing how a drug is eliminated from the body and has critical clinical applications.
In the one-compartment open model for intravenous (IV) bolus administration, clearance is estimated by dividing the elimination rate by the plasma drug concentration. This equation leverages the elimination rate constant and the apparent...

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Computational biology
  • Agricultural science

Background:

  • Plant root systems are crucial for ecosystems and agriculture, yet quantitative principles of their growth and architecture are not fully understood.
  • The 'forward problem' (predicting root form from models) is studied, but the 'inverse problem' (identifying models from observed roots) is less explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a computational framework for inferring mechanistic parameters of plant root growth and architecture.
  • To quantify uncertainty in model parameters and structures using observed root system data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) to solve the inverse problem of root architecture.
  • Applying the framework to both synthetic and experimental root data.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the efficacy of the ABC platform in inferring root growth parameters.
  • Showcased the ability to identify underlying growth mechanisms and characterize parameters in different plant mutants.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed adaptable framework provides mechanistic insights into the generation of observed root system architectures.
  • This approach advances our understanding of plant root development and its quantitative principles.
