Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

96
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...

Multicompartment Models: Overview

181
Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...

Per-Unit Sequence Models

93
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...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

64
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...

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

570
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.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Computational Biology
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Bayesian inference often requires integrating multiple heterogeneous data sets.
  • Specifying a single model for diverse data can be complex.
  • Distinct submodels for each data source offer a flexible alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Chained Markov Melding (CMM) for combining chains of submodels.
  • To address challenges in prior dependence and reconciliation between adjacent submodels.
  • To develop an efficient posterior estimation method for integrated models.

Main Methods:

  • CMM extends Markov melding to chains of submodels linked by common quantities.
  • The method captures within-submodel prior dependence and reconciles between-submodel prior differences.
  • A multi-stage, potentially parallel sampler is described for posterior estimation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated CMM with an ecological integrated population model.
  • Applied CMM to a joint longitudinal and time-to-event model with uncertain event times.
  • The methodology effectively integrates information from multiple submodels.

Conclusions:

  • Chained Markov melding provides a conceptually appealing framework for integrating diverse data through submodels.
  • The approach facilitates robust Bayesian inference in complex ecological and biomedical settings.
  • CMM enables efficient estimation of joint models by leveraging submodel structures.
