An Introduction to Stochastic Compartmental Models in Pharmacokinetics

  • Chapter
Pharmacokinetics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 145))

Abstract

Linear compartmental models are being widely used to model pharmacokinetic systems. Most of these models are deterministic and the statistical analysis of such models has been studied extensively. Many deterministic models are illustrated in other papers of this volume, and recent reviews are also given by Gibaldi and Perrier (1982), Godfrey (1983), and Jacquez (1985).
