Dear all,

in

Saranadasa, Krishnamoorthy
"A multivariate test for similarity of two dissolution profiles"
J. Biopharm. Stat. 15: 265-278, 2005


the authors describe a test for the comparison of drug dissolution profiles which is - in the eyes of the authors - more powerful then others, like similarity factor f2, IUT test ...

This test uses the variance-covariance matrix and therefore needs the individual values of %dissolved. But in the examples given in the paper I found only means and SD for the measurement time points.
Thus I couldn't recalculate the authors values for their new delta statistic if I understand their formulas (many matrices in there :cool:) some days.

My question: Has anybody examples of the application of this test with all necessary data? Is there any code (SAS, R or whatever) out there?

Regards,

Detlew

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
