Metrum Institute is offering the following hands-on workshop April 27-29, 2010
in Philadelphia:
MI250: Introduction to Bayesian PK-PD Modeling & Simulation provides an
introduction to Bayesian modeling theory and the practical use of WinBUGS and R
for PK-PD applications. In addition to basic concepts, this course includes
instruction on BUGSModelLibrary, an open-source tool developed by Metrum
Institute. This library facilitates the implementation of population PK-PD
models in WinBUGS for compartmental models described by algebraic or
differential equations. Participants may apply the 3 credit hours from this
course to the Metrum Institute Certificate Program in Pharmacometrics.
Prerequisites: Experience with PK-PD modeling and some familiarity with
nonlinear regression, mixed-effects modeling and R (or S-Plus) is requred.
Applicable MI courses include: MI 210 and MI212, or contact us.
Computer Hardware/Software: This course requires a Windows laptop computer with
an available USB 2.0 port. All required software used for hands-on examples
will be freeware/open-source software and simple instructions will be provided
for users to configure their computers before the course.
