| Abstract | Simulation and nonlinear fitting programs allow a greater role for human experience and judgement when used jointly in obtaining the best ranges and fit for the parameters of compartmental models. Currently available software provides graphical interfaces which make a viewing and intervention strategy attractive and efficient. This is especially the case in nonlinear models where required initial estimates can lead to false solution due to local minima. Simulations can be used which provide graphical displays for comparison with experimental data to obtain parameter ranges and initial estimates.This approach was applied to compartmental models which are used in pharmacokinetics. The models provide a useful simplified phenomenological representation of drug disposition and concentration. The resulting nonlinear equations are parameterized by clearance, volume and rate constants. The parametric values are used in making dosing and therapy decisions. The problem of determining the pharmacokinetic parameters from observations is called the identification problem.Nonlinear fitting approaches, with iterative search algorithms, are sensitive to the initial estimates assumed for the parameters. Difference equation simulations can easily represent a wide variety of compartmental models. Their results can be used to provide initial estimates for the nonlinear curve fitting programs. Possibly more importantly, comparing the model output with the experimental data will aid in deciding whether an appropriate compartmental model was specified.Current work has focused on using NONMEM (Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling) for population pharmacokinetics and Stella for simulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
