Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

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...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Artificial Intelligence
Graph Theory

Background:

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) represents entities and relations semantically.
Existing translation-based KGE algorithms (e.g., TransE, TransH) assume deterministic relations, posing challenges for probabilistic medical knowledge graphs.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance existing TransX algorithms for probabilistic medical knowledge graphs.
To incorporate probability values into representation vectors by mapping scores to probabilities and introducing probability-based loss functions.

Main Methods:

Developed the PrTransX algorithm, an enhancement of TransX models.
Applied PrTransX to a medical knowledge graph constructed from electronic medical records.
Evaluated embedding performance using a link prediction task.

Main Results:

PrTransX outperformed corresponding TransX algorithms across all evaluation metrics.
Achieved higher top-10 entity prediction accuracy and improved normalized discounted cumulative gain.
Demonstrated lower mean rank for predicted entities.

Conclusions:

PrTransX effectively integrates the inherent uncertainty of medical knowledge triplets into embedding vectors.
The proposed method offers improved semantic representation for probabilistic medical knowledge graphs.
