title: Pharmacokinetic curve fitting when the experimental error of the concentration-time data is represented by a relative error model.
abstract: When the experimental error of concentration-time data is represented by the relative error model (i.e. constant coefficient of variation) two approaches (direct input of concentration-time data with 1/C2i as a weighting factor, and input of logarithmically transformed concentration-time data) are equally effective in pharmacokinetic modelling. Advantages of the latter approach are discussed.
