Dear all,

I am a amateur in BA/BE area and trying to learn from this forum. I would appreciate if anyone kindly answer few of my queries for the r-code used to reproduce Fig.1c by Diletti et al. (1991).

Q1) If it is 2x2 cross-over study, test and ref drug would be given only once. Can we get true intra-subject co-efficient of variance (CV)from 2x2 cross-over study?

Q2) If it is possible to calculate the intra-subject co-efficient of variance (CV)from 2x2 cross-over study, is this value coming from ref drug only?

Q3) What is the equation for calculating this intra-subject co-efficient of variance (CV)?

Q4) In the equation "s = sqrt(2)*sigmaW", what 's' stands for? why '2' is square-rooted?

Q5) I have used the following r-code for calculating point estimate and CI limit of AUC.

  A1 <- data$AUC[which(data$TRT=="R1" & data$PER==1)]
  B2 <- data$AUC[which(data$TRT=="R2" & data$PER==2)]
  B1 <- data$AUC[which(data$TRT=="R2" & data$PER==1)]
  A2 <- data$AUC[which(data$TRT=="R1" & data$PER==2)]
 
  AB <- log(B2)-log(A1)
  BA <- log(B1)-log(A2)
  n1 <- length(AB)
  mAB <- mean(AB)
  vAB <- var(AB)
  n2 <- length(BA)
  mBA <- mean(BA)
  vBA <- var(BA)
  mD <- mean(log(c(B1,B2))) - mean(log(c(A1,A2)))
  MSE <- (((n1-1)*vAB + (n2-1)*vBA)/(n1+n2-2))/2
  alpha <- 0.05
 
  lo <- mD - qt(1-alpha,n1+n2-2)*sqrt(MSE)*sqrt((1/(2*n1) + 1/(2*n2)))
  hi <- mD + qt(1-alpha,n1+n2-2)*sqrt(MSE)*sqrt((1/(2*n1) + 1/(2*n2))
 
  PE <- 100*exp(mD)
  90_CI_Lower <- 100*exp(lo)
  90_CI_Higher <- 100*exp(hi)

  SE <- sqrt(MSE)*sqrt((1/(2*n1) + 1/(2*n2)))
  SD <- sqrt(MSE)

Can I calculate CV by the following equation?

CV=SD/(exp(mD))

Based on my understanding, this my calculated CV is not the same as the 'CV' that represent intra-subject co-efficient of variance used to reproduce Fig.1c by Diletti et al. (1991)

what code/formula should I use if I want to calculate intra-subject co-efficient of variance?

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”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
