Hi Simon!

Let’s see which VIFs we get for the same number of samples but with different schedules (IP’s example). Theoretical tmax at 4.837 h.
  1. 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 h
  2. 0, 1, 2, 2.75, 3.75, 4.75, 6.5, 8.75, 11.75, 16, 21.5, 29, 39.25, 53.25, 72 h

In #1 we have three samples within ±25% of tmax (4, 5, 6 h) and in #2 only two (3.75, 4.75 h). The closest sampling timepoint to the theoretical tmax in #1 is 5 h (+3.37%) and in #2 4.75 h (-1.80%).
If I look at the VIFs for Cmax and tmax I would favor #1.
On the other hand AUC and K10 speak for #2.

BTW, your first plot is a nice example why the linear trapezoidal is such a lousy method.

P.S.: If you upload screenshoots crop / scale down to the maximum size (640px longest side) and save them as 8bit-PNGs in IrfanView. Will look much better than downscaled JPEGs.
