PKCovariateModel object - Define relationship between parameters and covariates

Note   PKCovariateModel has been removed. Use CovariateModel object instead.

Description

PKCovariateModel defines the relationship between estimated parameters and covariates. Use PKCovariateModel methods to get the FEGroupDesign matrix and to get and set initial estimates for fixed effects.

Construction

obj = PKCovariateModel creates an empty PKCovariateModel object.

obj = PKCovariateModel(exp) creates a PKCovariateModel object with its Expression property set to exp.

Method Summary

getFEGroupDesign (covmodel, modelmap, data)	Create design matrix needed for fit
getInitialEstimate (covmodel, modelmap, data)	Create initial estimate vector needed for fit
setInitialEstimate (covmodel, modelmap, data)	Update covariate model to use new initial estimates
verify (covmodel, modelmap, data)	Run error checks on expression values

Property Summary

Expression (PKCovariateModel)

Define the relationship between parameters and covariates

Examples

Create a PKCovariateModel object and define the relationship between parameters and covariates.

covModel = PKCovariateModel
covModel.Expression = {'CL = 2 + 3*WT'  'V = 3.4 + 2*AGE'};
