Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prior efforts to automate population pharmacokinetic structural and statistical model selection have explored various algorithms with mixed results. This study is conducting a comprehensive comparison of six distinct optimization algorithms for selecting pharmacokinetic and target-mediated drug disposition models. Our objective is to determine which algorithms to use pre…
