simulateBealModelFixedEffects {BLOQ}

simulate data from Beal model with fixed effects

Description

function to generate data from a Beal model with fixed effects

Usage

simulateBealModelFixedEffects(
  numSubjects,
  clearance,
  volumeOfDistribution,
  dose,
  timePoints
)

Arguments

numSubjects

scalar, number of subject which should be generated

clearance

scalar, clearance

volumeOfDistribution

scalar, volume of distribution

dose

scalar, dose

timePoints

vector of time points

Details

The model used to generate data at time t is as follows

y(t)=C(t)\exp(e(t)),

where C(t), the PK-model, is defined as follows:

C(t) = \frac{\mathrm{dose}}{V_d} \exp{(CL.t)},

with V_d the volume of distribution and CL as clearance. The error model is consdiered as e(t) \sim N(0, h(t)), with:

h(t) = 0.03 + 0.165 \frac{C(t)^{-1}}{C(1.5)^{-1} + C(t)^{-1}}

Value

generated sample with numSubjects as the number of rows and length of timePoints as the number of columns
