Simulating realistic patient profiles from pharmacokinetic models by a machine learning postprocessing correction of residual variability

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology
We address the problem of model misspecification in population pharmacokinetics (PopPK), by modeling residual unexplained variability (RUV) by machine learning (ML) methods in a postprocessing step after conventional model building. The practical purpose

Misspecification in dynamic models

open access: yes, 1990
Within the class of ARMAX models we consider the effects that omitted explanatory processes have on the dynamic shape and the exogeneity properties of economic relations. We show that, under suitable assumptions, a well defined "misspecified" ARMAX model exists and is unique.
