fit_pharm_mod {SimDissolution}

Fitting a pharmacokinetic model to concentration data

Description

This function fits a pharmacokinetic model (dissolution profile) to time-concentration data using non-linear least squares regression. The model can be chosen from a candidate set containing a First order, Hixson-Crowell,Higuchi, Weibull and a logistic model. See Moellenhoff et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7689> for details.

Usage

fit_pharm_mod(time, conc, m, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

time

a vector containing the time points of measurements

conc

data frame or matrix containing the concentrations (see the example)

m

model type. Built-in models are "firstorder", "hixson", "higuchi", "weibull" and "logistic"

plot

plot of the model, default is TRUE.

Value

A list containing the model type and the obtained parameters, further the RSS for all possible models. Furthermore a plot is given.
