Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

13.2K
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...

Longitudinal Studies

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...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

259
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Compartment Models

545
Compartmental analysis is a widely adopted approach to characterizing drug pharmacokinetics. It uses compartment models that conceptualize the body as a collection of reversibly communicating compartments, each representing a group of tissues exhibiting similar drug distribution characteristics. The movement rate of the drug between these compartments is typically described by first-order kinetics.
Two primary types of compartment models are recognized: mammillary and catenary. The more...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

247
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:

  • Psychometric sciences
  • Medical sciences
  • Behavioral sciences

Background:

  • Longitudinal data in psychometric and medical sciences are often high-dimensional tensors.

Main Methods:

  • PARAFAC decomposition-based tensor decomposition.
  • Probabilistic latent model integration.
  • Covariance-based block-relaxation algorithm for parameter estimation.

Main Results:

  • The method effectively represents high-dimensional functional tensors in a low-dimensional format.
  • The probabilistic modeling and covariance formulation enable application in sparse and irregular sampling schemes.
  • Intensive simulations demonstrate a notable advantage in tensor reconstruction.
