❝ Helmut recently introduced a free open-source program called "PhEq_bootstrap". Please see this thread. I don't know if this program fits your needs or not.


Dear Friends,
There is an option in DDSolver to calculate bootstrap F2. The results obtained using DDSolver and PhEq_Bootstrap are coming different.

Sample DDSolver results:
Observed f2 - 41.690
Number of bootstrap - 10000
Bootstrap mean - 40.393
Bootstrap median - 40.416
5% percentile - 34.344
95% percentile - 46.290
Is 5% percentile > 50 - No
Similarity of R and T - Reject

Sample PhEq_Bootstrap results:
Number of bootstrap - 10000
Average F2 - 40.34
F2 unbiased value - 42.46
Expected F2 - 38.62
Lower confidence interval for expected f2 - 33.42
Upper confidence interval for expected f2 - 43.62
Similarity NOT confirmed: Lower CI is below the limit (f2 = 50)

Now the question is, which one of the two software's perform "FDA acceptable" calculation?
Here, i am assuming that "Shah VP, Tsong Y, Sathe P, Liu JP. In vitro dissolution profile comparison-statistics and analysis of the similarity factor, f2. Pharm Res. 1998 Jun;15(6):889-96." method is "FDA acceptable".

OR is there any other method to calculate the bootstrap F2 (I am no SAS brainer :-|)?
If SAS can be used, does any one have the code for it?

Thanks in advance,
Sameep
