Bases:
pkpd.protocols.protocol_pkpd_ode_base.ProtPKPDODEBaseFit a three-compartments model to a set of measurements (any arbitrary dosing regimen is allowed)
The central compartment is referred to as C, while the peripheral compartments as Cpa and Cpb. A and B peripheral compartments are both connected to the central compartment. The differential equation is V dC/dt = -(Cl+Clpa+Clpb) * C + Clpa * Cpa + Clpb * Cpb + dD/dt, Vpa dCpa/dt = Clpa * C - Clpa * Cpa
Vpb dCpb/dt = Clpb * C - Clpb * Cpb
where C is the concentration of the central compartment, Cl the clearance, V and Vpa, Vpb the distribution volume of the central and peripheral compartments, Clpa and Clpb are the distribution rates between the central and the peripheral compartments, and D the input dosing regime. Confidence intervals calculated by this fitting may be pessimistic because it assumes that all model parameters are independent, which are not. Use Bootstrap estimates instead.
