One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

792
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Longitudinal Studies

280
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

106
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Longitudinal Research

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Truncation in Survival Analysis01:09

Truncation in Survival Analysis

342
Truncation in survival analysis refers to the exclusion of individuals or events from the dataset based on specific criteria related to the time of the event. This exclusion can happen in two primary forms: left truncation and right truncation.
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Per-Unit Sequence Models01:26

Per-Unit Sequence Models

146
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Biomedical studies often involve multiple response variables measured repeatedly over time on the same subjects.
  • Analyzing such complex longitudinal data requires robust statistical methods that can handle potential outliers and select relevant variables.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simultaneous variable selection and estimation method for multivariate t linear mixed-effects models (MtLMM).
  • To enhance the analysis of longitudinally measured multi-outcome data by accommodating fat tails and identifying insignificant variables.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multivariate t linear mixed-effects model (MtLMM) for longitudinal multi-outcome data.
  • Employed the smoothly clipped and absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty function for simultaneous variable selection and estimation.
  • Implemented an expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm for parameter estimation and an information-based method for standard error calculation.

Main Results:

  • The proposed penalized MtLMM demonstrated robustness and flexibility in handling data with fat tails.
  • Analysis of the Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBCseq) data revealed that 'drugs' and 'sex' were not significant predictors and could be eliminated.
  • The study confirmed disease progression over time in the PBCseq cohort.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methodology provides an effective approach for variable selection and estimation in complex longitudinal studies.
  • The penalized MtLMM offers a valuable tool for identifying key factors influencing disease progression and managing multi-outcome data.
  • The findings highlight the importance of robust statistical modeling in biomedical research, as exemplified by the PBCseq data analysis.
