A Two-Step Approach to Measurement Error in Time-Dependent Covariates in Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models, with Application to IGF-I Pharmacokinetics
非线性混合效应模型中时变协变量测量误差的两步处理:IGF-I药代动力学应用
The usual approach to the analysis of population pharmacokinetic studies is to represent the concentration-time data by a nonlinear mixed-effects model. Primary objectives are to characterize the pattern of drug disposition in the population and to identify individual-specific covariates associated with pharmacokinetic behavior. We consider data from a study of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) administered by intravenous infusion to patients with severe head trauma.…
