PSM-package: Population Stochastic Modelling

In PSM: Non-Linear Mixed-Effects Modelling using Stochastic Differential Equations

Description

Non-Linear Mixed-Effects Modelling using Stochastic Differential Equations

Functions for fitting linear and non-linear mixed-effects models using stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The package allows for any multivariate non-linear time-variant model to be specified, and it also handles multidimensional input, covariates, missing observations, and specification of dosage regimen. The provided pipeline relies on the coupling of the FOCE algorithm and Kalman filtering as outlined by Klim et al. (2009) and has been validated against the proprietary software 'NONMEM' (Tornoe et al., 2005). Further functions are provided for finding smoothed estimates of model states and for simulation.

Details

Function overview:

PSM.estimate
Estimate population parameters for any linear or non-linear model.

PSM.smooth
Optimal estimates of model states based on estimated parameters.

PSM.simulate
Simulate data for multiple individuals.

PSM.plot
Plot data, state estimates ect. for multiple individuals.

PSM.template
Creates a template with R-syntax to help setup a model in PSM.

Note

For further details please also read the package vignette pdf-document by writing vignette("PSM") in R.
