sparse_mean {PKNCA}

Calculate the mean concentration at all time points for use in sparse NCA calculations

Description

Choices for the method of calculation (the argument sparse_mean_method) are:

Usage

sparse_mean(
  sparse_pk,
  sparse_mean_method = c("arithmetic mean, <=50% BLQ", "arithmetic mean")
)

Arguments

sparse_pk

A sparse_pk object from as_sparse_pk

sparse_mean_method

The method used to calculate the sparse mean (see details)

Details

• "arithmetic mean"Arithmetic mean (ignoring number of BLQ samples)

• "arithmetic mean, <=50% BLQ"If >= 50% of the measurements are BLQ, zero. Otherwise, the arithmetic mean of all samples (including the BLQ as zero).

Value

A vector the same length as sparse_pk with the mean concentration at each of those times.
