title: The design of pharmacokinetic experiments for model discrimination.
abstract: The need for objective design of pharmacokinetic experiments aimed at model discrimination is argued. A sequential design strategy based on information theory is outlined. The characteristics of this strategy and its applicability to pharmacokinetic experiments is examined by means of computer simulated experiments. The limitation of the technique are discussed and alternative approaches outlined.
