Show abstract
Incorporating realistic sets of patient-associated covariates, i.e., virtual populations, in pharmacometric simulation workflows is essential to obtain realistic model predictions. Current covariate simulation strategies often omit or simplify dependency structures between covariates. Copula models are multivariate distribution functions suitable to capture dependency structures between covariates with improved performance compared to standard approaches. We aimed to develop and evaluate a copula model for generation of adult virtual populations for 12 patient-associated covariates commonly used in pharmacometric simulations, using the publicly available NHANES database, including sex, race-ethnicity, body weight, albumin, and several biochemical variables related to organ function. A multivariate (vine) copula was constructed from bivariate relationships in a stepwise fashion. Covariate distributions were well captured for the overall and subgroup populations. Based on the developed copula model, a web application was developed. The developed copula model and associated web application can be used to generate realistic adult virtual populations, ultimately to support model-based clinical trial design or dose optimization strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
