Introduction to Coupon Expectation
Uncertainty quantification plays a crucial role in drug development, as drug responses vary among individuals. In the context of pharmacometrics, we want to optimize dosage regimens to achieve therapeutic ranges while minimizing the risk of toxicity.
This is where the Koopman method comes in. By understanding the uncertainties in our model parameters and inputs, we can calculate the probabilities of desired outcomes and optimize dosing regimens accordingly.
In the following sections, we will explore the Koopman method in more detail and demonstrate its application through examples.
Uncertainty Quantification in Pumas
Uncertainty quantification involves assessing the impact of uncertain inputs on model outputs. In the context of pharmacometrics, it allows us to estimate the probabilities of achieving desired drug concentrations within the therapeutic range.
The Koopman method provides a powerful framework for uncertainty quantification by pulling back the costs and calculating expectations based on probabilistic quantities.

Therapeutic Ranges and Dosage Optimization
Achieving optimal dosage regimens is essential in healthcare, as it determines the effectiveness and safety of medications. The therapeutic range represents the ideal drug concentration within the body, providing the desired therapeutic effect without causing adverse effects.
To optimize dosage regimens, we need to consider both inter-individual and intra-individual variability in drug response. Factors such as age, weight, and genetics can influence how individuals metabolize and respond to drugs.
The goal is to find the optimal dosing regimen for each individual that maximizes the probability of achieving therapeutic drug concentrations while minimizing the risk of toxicity.
Optimization Under Uncertainty
Optimization under uncertainty is a crucial aspect of dosage regimen design. Traditional approaches often rely on extensive Monte Carlo simulations to assess the probabilities of desired outcomes. However, these simulations can be computationally expensive and time-consuming, hindering the efficiency of drug development processes.
The Koopman method offers a more efficient alternative by quantifying uncertainties and calculating expectations based on probabilistic quantities. By pulling back the costs and leveraging Julia's computational capabilities, we can optimize dosing regimens with greater speed and accuracy.
In the next section, we will demonstrate the benefits of the Koopman method over Monte Carlo simulations through performance comparisons and real-world examples.
Demo: Using Koopman with Pumas
In this demo, we will showcase how to use the Koopman method with Pumas for uncertainty quantification and dosage optimization. We will Present two examples to highlight the performance gains and advantages of the Koopman method.
Performance Comparison: Monte Carlo vs Koopman
First, let's compare the performance of Monte Carlo simulations and the Koopman method in calculating expectations. Using a simple model, we will assess the runtime and accuracy of both approaches.
The results demonstrate that the Koopman method significantly outperforms Monte Carlo simulations, providing faster and more accurate expectation calculations.
Continuous Observable Function
Next, we will demonstrate the usage of a continuous observable function in the Koopman method. By defining a different observable function, we can calculate the expected value of the area under the curve (AUC) as a measure of drug concentration.
Once again, the Koopman method proves to be more efficient and accurate than Monte Carlo simulations, allowing for precise estimation of the expected AUC.
Complete Example: Bayesian Estimation and Optimization
In this example, we will use the posterior distribution obtained through Bayesian estimation as an uncertainty distribution for the model parameters. We will then optimize the dosing regimen based on a cost function representing the expected AUC.
By combining Bayesian estimation and the Koopman method, we can effectively optimize dosage regimens to ensure a high probability of achieving therapeutic drug concentrations.
