    This study introduces a new method for estimating parameters in two-compartment stochastic models using known covariance structures. This approach yields reliable estimators and enables the creation of confidence intervals for model parameters.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
    • Stochastic Modeling
    • Statistical Inference

    Background:

    • Two-compartment models are widely used to describe drug absorption and distribution.
    • Estimating rate constants in these models is crucial for understanding drug behavior.
    • Existing methods like nonlinear least squares often ignore temporal correlations in data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel procedure for estimating rate constants in two-compartment stochastic models.
    • To incorporate the known covariance structure of observations into the estimation process.
    • To provide a statistically robust method for parameter estimation and confidence interval construction.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a procedure utilizing the known covariance structure of observations as a function of model parameters.

  • Identified the asymptotic covariance matrix for constructing approximate confidence intervals and regions.
  • Presented the explicit form of the inverse covariance matrix required for the estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method produces RBAN estimators for the parameters of the two-compartment stochastic model.
    • The method allows for the construction of approximate confidence intervals and regions.
    • Demonstrated the procedure's effectiveness with both simulated and real-world data.
    • Outperformed nonlinear least squares in handling time-correlated data.

    Conclusions:

    • The new estimation procedure offers a statistically sound and efficient method for analyzing two-compartment stochastic models.
    • Incorporating covariance structure improves parameter estimation accuracy and reliability.
    • This method provides a valuable alternative to traditional techniques, especially when data exhibit temporal dependencies.
