Basic Inter-Individual Variability (IIV)

Population simulation with log-normal IIV on PK parameters.

Model

θᵢ = θ_pop × exp(ηᵢ)

Where ηᵢ ~ N(0, ω²)

Parameters

Parameter Population ω (SD) CV%
CL 5.0 L/h 0.3 ~30%
V 50.0 L 0.2 ~20%

What This Example Shows

  1. Generate 100 virtual subjects
  2. Each subject has individual CL and V values
  3. Simulate PK for all subjects
  4. Compute population summaries (mean, median, 5th/95th percentiles)

Expected Variability

With ω_CL = 0.3: - 95% of subjects have CL between ~2.7 and ~9.2 L/h - This is 0.55× to 1.8× the typical value
