Dear Helmut,

❝ BTW, asking for a comparison of both k and t_½ demonstrates a lack of understanding of statistics. They differ only by a factor of ln(2). Any comparison will give identical variance, CI, etc.

I think here you err.
t_½ = ln(2)/k (some sort of 'inverse transformation').

Lets consider for simplicity the GMR's (I consider the metric names are the geometric means here):
t_½T/t_½R = (ln(2)/k_T)/(ln(2)/k_R) = k_R/k_T
That's not identical to the GMR for k IMHO :no:

.

BTW: @Mahmoud.
k or k_e will be better called lambda_Z - terminal rate constant.

❝ ❝ 1st order elimination rate constant

is only correct within an one-compartment model.
