Description

GSLCCA estimates the parameters of a given nonlinear model to maximize the correlation with a linear combination of multiple response variables.

Details

GSLCCA was developed to characterize brain activity monitored using EEG (electroencephalogram) under different treatment regimens in research and development projects at Pfizer.

EEG results are typically summarised as a matrix of power spectra, giving the power (microvolts squared) over multiple frequencies (Hz) recorded at different times. GSLCCA is then used to find a linear combination of the powers that is maximally correlated to a nonlinear pharmacometric model.

The gslcca package can be used to relate any multivariate response to any function of time, however it provides shortcuts for specifying standard PK/PD models (Critical Exponential or Double Exponential). It also has options to analyse subjects separately; to estimate parameters separately for different treatments and to partial out covariates prior to analysis.

Utility functions are provided to plot the results and to investigating the effect of pre-smoothing on the analysis.
