Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide insight into the theoretical underpinnings of compartmental modeling software.
  • To explain the construction of compartmental models and system behavior analysis.
  • To detail methods for determining model rate constants from observed data.

Main Methods:

  • System behavior is described using differential equations derived from short-term dynamics.
  • Model rate constants are determined by fitting the model to observed data.
