This book provides a user-friendly, hands-on introduction to the
Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling (NONMEM) system, the most powerful
tool for pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic analysis.
Introduces requisite background to using Nonlinear
Mixed Effects Modeling (NONMEM), covering data requirements, model
building and evaluation, and quality control aspects
Provides examples of nonlinear modeling concepts and
estimation basics with discussion on the model building
process and applications of empirical Bayesian estimates in the
drug development environment
Includes detailed chapters on data set structure,
developing control streams for modeling and simulation, model
applications, interpretation of NONMEM output and results, and
quality control
Has datasets, programming code, and practice exercises
with solutions, available on a supplementary website
