Greetings,
I have samples from individuals collected in plasma and then, 30 minutes later, in CSF.
The drug given has a well established one compartment model but nothing done for the CSF.
As I have samples from both, I am aiming to build a population model for both plasma and CSF.
Questions:
1- Can phoenix model this in one model? That is, can I construct one model to characterize both at the same time or does this require separate modeling attempts?
2- If I can do this with one model, do I need to structure the data differently as there are multiple time points from different compartments with missing values? Can I use MDV for two separate observations?
Hi,
1- Can phoenix model this in one model? That is, can I construct one model to characterize both at the same time or does this require separate modeling attempts?
Yes you can have a “joint” model where you model both at the same time you need to make sure you have two observation types say
Cplasma
Ccsf
( you will have to go to graphical or textual mode)
2- If I can do this with one model, do I need to structure the data differently as there are multiple time points from different compartments with missing values? Can I use MDV for two separate observations?
yes you can have something like that
ID TIME DV1 DV2 MDV
1 10 100 5 0
1 12 300 0
1 12 1
( note that in phoenix you can have empty DV so it wil lbe interpreted as missing no need for MDV)
but if you want MDV that applies differently to the different observations you need to split inot multiple lines so the MDV applies only to the line with the type of obs you want to declare as missing.
Thank you so much - so I wouldnt need to specify MDV at all, except where both were missing or BLQ?
bql you need a bql flag
mdv is more when you have a value in your data that you want to exclude due to a good reason
