Kinetic-effect models and their applications.
This article focuses on mathematical models that analyze the time course of drug effects in humans. Any such model, whether parametric or nonparametric, is termed a kinetic-effect model (KEM). These models serve to describe (interpolation) and to predict (extrapolation) the effect-time profile. KEMs are applicable to many problems in pharmaceutics, pharmacology, and clinical pharmacology.
