MI250: Introduction to Bayesian PK-PD Modeling & Simulation (3 CR)
Product Description
April 27-29, 2010
MI250 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: MI200, MI 210, MI212 and MI220, 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.
Location: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Colket Translational Research Building, 3501 Civic Center Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA
