| Abstract | The aim of this work is to implement a conservative prior that safeguards against population non-exchangeability of prior and data likelihood, in the framework of population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis, incorporating multi-level hierarchical modelling. Three different exercises were performed: (i) we investigated the use of parametric priors in the multilevel hierarchical modelling framework; (ii) we assessed the average performance of the multilevel hierarchical model compared to the standard mixed effect model, considering also some interesting extreme cases and (iii) we implemented an application with a small Proof of Principle (PoP) study, which demonstrates the propagation of information across PD studies using multilevel modelling. Fitting with the 4-level model and informative parametric priors performed similar to a meta-analysis of the test datasets combined with the datasets that the priors came from, demonstrating that parametric priors can be used alternatively to meta-analysis. Further, the 4-level model gave posterior distributions which had larger uncertainty but at the same time were unbiased, compared to the 3-level model, and therefore implements a more conservative prior in a formal way, which is appropriate when the prior and the test populations are not exchangeable. For the application with the PoP study, the statistical power of detecting the difference in potency between two drugs, when inter-study variability was present, was greater when an extra level in the hierarchical model to account for it, was used. In conclusion, by applying the prior one hierarchical level above the level of the parameters of interest, we implemented a more conservative prior, compared to applying the prior directly on the parameters of interest. The approach is equivalent to Bayesian individualization, offers a safeguard against bias from the prior and also avoids the danger of the data being overwhelmed by a strong prior. |

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.
