RE: Bayesian estimation example
Dear Group members,
I will make my objective more clear- I have a drug X in which I have
information in healthy volunteers with extensive sampling done, single
dose (12-14 samples).
I have data on appx. 100 volunteers at different dose levels from phase
I studies.
We also have a data in 16 patients at one dose only, with extensive
sampling.
Now we have data from 200 patients, with 2-3 blood samples collected
from each patient at different doses.
It is also seen that the PK changes in patients.
What I am interested is that can we use Bayesian estimates, (and I think
posthoc estimate from NONMEM, as Yaning mentions) to determine the
pharmacokinetics (PK) of the whole population from these 2-3 blood
samples collected per patient.
Hope it is more clear.
I have checked at website- ( http://www.accp1.org/)as suggested by many
but could not find any control stream on Bayesian. Can the group help me
on this.
I thank the experts for giving their comments on the same.

Tausif may be referring to the posthoc estimate from NONMEM (empirical
Bayesian estimate).

Tausif,
Why do you want to use Bayesian Estimation? If you have only just
started to use NONMEM then perhaps you have misunderstood the reasons
for using it. It is very rarely needed.
