A Philosophical Framework for Integrating Systems Pharmacology Models Into Pharmacometrics
نویسنده
چکیده
The framework for systems pharmacology style models does not naturally sit with the usual scientific dogma of parsimony and falsifiability based on deductive reasoning. This does not invalidate the importance or need for overarching models based on pharmacology to describe and understand complicated biological systems. However, it does require some consideration on how systems pharmacology fits into the overall scientific approach.

An Approach for Identifiability of Population Pharmacokinetic–Pharmacodynamic Models
Mathematical models are routinely used in clinical pharmacology to study the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of a drug in the body. Identifiability of these models is an important requirement for the success of these clinical studies. Identifiability is classified into two types, structural identifiability related to the structure of the mathematical model and deterministic ident...
