Optimal design for dynamical modeling of pest populations by H. T. Banks, R. A. Everett, Neha Murad, R. D. White, J. E. Banks, Bodil N. Cass, Jay A. Rosenheim

“…We then analyze these optimal distributions by comparing the standard errors of parameter estimates corresponding to each distribution. This allows us to investigate how many data are required to have confidence in model parameter estimates in order to employ dynamical modeling to infer population dynamics. …”

Partial AUCs in Long-Acting Injectables: Rationale, Challenges, Variability, Usefulness, and Clinical Relevance by Georgia Tsakiridou, Maria-Faidra-Galini Angelerou, Panagiotis Efentakis, Antonios Margaritis, Antigoni-Maria Papanastasiou, Lida Kalantzi

“…Even though cut-off points for pAUCs are usually decided based on clinical relevance, the identification of the correct cut-off range remains elusive in many other cases and tends to contribute to increased pAUC estimate variabilities. The choice of meaningful cut-off points in pAUC estimates can be especially difficult in the case of long-acting injectable (LAI) products, where long dosing intervals and complex pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles apply, but most importantly, because there is not always a clear PK/PD relationship established. …”
