Idential sampling points result in different RSE. Is this a bug or normal? #17

Hi Andrewhooker ,

I am new to this tool. I found:

Only one time point at the time 1 hour: image

Two time points at the time 1 hour: image

The bpop[2] is quite different. I am wondering how this happens.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi

If you take two samples at the same time point then (assuming that there is no correlation between samples ... as is common in PKPD models) taking 2 samples will give twice as much information as 1 sample. See for example Nyberg, J., Hoglund, R., Bergstrand, M., Karlsson, M. O. and Hooker, A. C. (2012) ‘Serial correlation in optimal design for nonlinear mixed effects models’, J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn, 39(3), pp. 239–249. doi: 10.1007/s10928-012-9245-5.

Best regards, Andrew
