Abstract

A connectionist model (adaptive neural network) is developed for estimating the pharmacokinetic properties of a drug from plasma concentrations measured during the course of therapy. The back-propagation algorithm was used to determine the weights in a three-layered network model from simulated sets of kinetic parameters and drug concentrations. The estimation performance of the connectionist model is shown to compare well to that of maximum-likelihood and Bayesian estimators.
