rxDerived {RxODE}R Documentation

Calculate derived parameters for the 1-, 2-, and 3- compartment linear models.

Description

This calculates the derived parameters based on what is provided in a data frame or arguments

Usage

rxDerived(..., verbose = FALSE, digits = 0)

Arguments

...

The input can be:

  • A data frame with PK parameters in it; This should ideally be a data frame with one pk parameter per row since it will output a data frame with one PK parameter per row.

  • PK parameters as either a vector or a scalar

verbose

boolean that when TRUE provides a message about the detected pk parameters and the detected compartmental model. By default this is FALSE.

digits

represents the number of significant digits for the output; If the number is zero or below (default), do not round.

Value

Return a data.frame of derived PK parameters for a 1-, 2-, or 3-compartment linear model given provided clearances and volumes based on the inferred model type.

The model parameters that will be provided in the data frame are:

Examples


## Note that RxODE parses the names to figure out the best PK parameter

params <- rxDerived(cl=29.4, v=23.4, Vp=114, vp2=4614, q=270, q2=73)

## That is why this gives the same results as the value before

params <- rxDerived(CL=29.4, V1=23.4, V2=114, V3=4614, Q2=270, Q3=73)

## You may also use micro-constants alpha/beta etc.

params <- rxDerived(k12=0.1, k21=0.2, k13=0.3, k31=0.4, kel=10, v=10)

## or you can mix vectors and scalars

params <- rxDerived(CL=29.4, V=1:3)

## If you want, you can round to a number of significant digits
## with the `digits` argument:

params <- rxDerived(CL=29.4, V=1:3, digits=2)
