RE: [NMusers] Parallel first order and Michaelis-Menten elimination

Dear Dr. Holford:

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think the DV may not have been log t=
ransformed. If the DV was log transformed, the residual error model may hav=
e been coded as

IPRED=LOG(F)
Y=LOG(F)+W*ERR(1)


Dear Dr. Gibiansky:

I think you may have used DV in the original units with an residual error m=
odel for log transformed DV, which is equivalent to an additional+proportio=
nal residual model. Please correct me if I am wrong. But would you please c=
larify a little bit why you used this error model instead of a regular addi=
tional+proportional residual model?

Thanks!

Leonid,

Thanks for the code example which illustrates one side of a religious debat=
e which took place a few weeks ago on PharmPK. The essence of this debate w=
as should one normalize PK parameters to a unit volume or to a unit body.

The unit volume believers feel that the rate constant is the 'natural' way =
to describe pharmacokinetics while the unit body believers feel that cleara=
nce is more 'natural'. Both groups agree that the two systems are just repa=
rameterizations and make identical numerical predictions.

Your coding of Vmax for the mixed order elimination process has the implici=
t units of mass/time per unit volume e.g. mg/h/L. This is the unit volume b=
elief system.

I am a unit body believer so I would code this system differently with a ve=
ry simple change- substituting A(1) with C1 to multiply the mixed order exp=
ression. I have also changed VM to VMUB to indicate that the dimensions of =
the Vmax parameter are per unit body i.e. mg/h per body.

DADT(1) = -K10*A(1)-C1*VMUB/(KM+C1)-K12*A(1)+K21*A(2)

It could also be written like this to emphasize that the mixed order proces=
s has the same units as CL (for unit body believers) when C1 tends to 0:

DADT(1) = -C1*(CL+VMUB/(KM+C1) - K12*A(1)+K21*A(2)

I note also that your residual error model implies that the DV has been log=
 transformed. This reflects yet another belief system which I think you hav=
e shown has little, if any, practical merit. I prefer to keep the DV in the=
 original units.

Best wishes,

Nick
