PKNCA estimation control

Usage

pkncaControl(
  concu = NA_character_,
  doseu = NA_character_,
  timeu = NA_character_,
  volumeu = NA_character_,
  vpMult = 2,
  qMult = 1/2,
  vp2Mult = 4,
  q2Mult = 1/4,
  dvParam = "cp",
  groups = character(),
  sparse = FALSE,
  ncaData = NULL,
  ncaResults = NULL,
  rxControl = rxode2::rxControl()
)

Arguments

concu, doseu, timeu

concentration, dose, and time units from the source data (passed to PKNCA::pknca_units_table()).

volumeu

compartment volume for the model (if NULL, simplified units from source data will be used)

vpMult, qMult, vp2Mult, q2Mult

Multipliers for vc and cl to provide initial estimates for vp, q, vp2, and q2

dvParam

The parameter name in the model that should be modified for concentration unit conversions. It must be assigned on a line by itself, separate from the residual error model line.

groups

Grouping columns for NCA summaries by group (required if sparse = TRUE)

sparse

Are the concentration-time data sparse PK (commonly used in small nonclinical species or with terminal or difficult sampling) or dense PK (commonly used in clinical studies or larger nonclinical species)?

ncaData

Data to use for calculating NCA parameters. Typical use is when a subset of the original data are informative for NCA.

ncaResults

Already computed NCA results (a PKNCAresults object) to bypass automatic calculations. At least the following parameters must be calculated in the NCA: tmax, cmax.dn, cl.last

rxControl

Control options sent to rxode2::rxControl()

Value

A list of parameters
