AUC {pkr}

Calculate Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Area Under the first Moment Curve (AUMC) in a table format

Description

Calculate Area Under the Curve(AUC) and the first Moment Curve(AUMC) in two ways; 'linear trapezoidal method' or 'linear-up and log-down' method. Return a table of cumulative values.

Usage

AUC(x, y, down = "Linear")

Arguments

x

vector values of independent variable, usually time

y

vector values of dependent variable, usually concentration

down

either of "Linear" or "Log" to indicate the way to calculate AUC and AUMC

Details

down="Linear" means linear trapezoidal rule with linear interpolation. down="Log" means linear-up and log-down method.

Value

Table with two columns, AUC and AUMC; the first column values are cumulative AUCs and the second column values cumulative AUMCs.
