General Method
Modeling involves a number of steps.
Figure 6.5.1 A general approach to modeling
Ideally the pharmacokinetic modeler is part of the design of the experiment. The study is designed and data are collected. The modeler will then develop suitable models consistent with the data, route of administration and dosage regimen. The data will be modeled using appropriate computer programs and the results evaluated. Problems at this point might lead to moe modeling or even more studies and data collection. Finally we might get to use the model to make useful predictions such as dosage regimen design.
