An associated website hosts datasets and programming code.


Chapters discuss population model terminology, Bayesian analysis, PK/PD simulation. This useful guide helps pharmaceutical scientists and students learn the requisite information needed to perform mixed effect modeling of pharmacologic data using the NONMEM software package. Providing a user-friendly, hands-on introduction to the most powerful tool for population PK/PD models, Introduction to Population PK/PD Analysis with Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models introduces the reader to the NONMEM system, a powerful tool for pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic analysis.
