MI250-W: Introduction to Bayesian PK-PD Modeling & Simulation (3 CR)
Product Description
September 13 - December 16, 2010 (12 weeks plus 1 make-up week)
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, MI205 (formerly MI220), MI210 and MI212, or contact us.
Computer Hardware/Software: This course requires a Windows 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.
