Clinical Pharmacology Podcast with Nathan Teuscher

Different estimation methods used in modeling (Ep. 44)

In this episode I discuss different algorithms used for pharmacometrics modeling. I describe difference between maximum likelihood and expectation maximization methods. I review the FO and FOCEI maximum likelihood algorithms. I then review SAEM, IMP, and QRPEM expectation maximization algorithms that are available. I conclude with an brief explanation of the difference between parameter estimation and parameter uncertainty.
