Dear Dr. Shiv!
Me too!
Agree. If you are interested in a more thorough discussion:
Everybody should be aware that the linear trapezoidal rule is close to the worst numerical integration algorithm (just after the rectangular rule).
There are other algorithms available (log-trapezoidal, lin/log-trapezoidal, Lagrange, Splines, Simpson’s rule, Runge-Kutta). This was pointed out almost 30 years ago by Yeh and Kwan – without further notice by the scientific community.
At least modern software allows selection of the log-trapezoidal rule, or even better lin-up/log-down. Funny enough in all packages I know the linear trapezoidal rule is set as the default leaving the unwary investigator with a suboptimal method.
❝ I am really on a high on this subject. Thanks we are really discussing technical aspects of BE not just guidelines (ehich I am bored of)!!!.
Me too!
❝ NCA is useful tool for typical single dose studies…
