Models and Software

Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling methods as applied to pharmacokinetic-dynamic data are operational tools able to perform population analyses [461]. In the basic formulation of the model, it is recognized that the overall variability in the measured response in a sample of individuals, which cannot be explained by the pharmacokinetic-dynamic model, reflects both interindividual dispersion in kinetics and residual variation, the latter including intraindividual variability and measurement error. The observed response of an individual within the framework of a population nonlinear mixed-effects regression model can be described as

The extraction of more complex particle size distributions from PCS data (which is not part of the commonly performed particle size characterization of solid lipid nanoparticles) remains a challenging task, even though several corresponding mathematical models and software for commercial instruments are available. This type of analysis requires the user to have a high degree of experience and the data to have high statistical accuracy. In many cases, data obtained in routine measurements, as are often performed for particle size characterization, are not an adequate basis for a reliable particle size distribution analysis.

The process model can be obtained by different forms, and in bioprocesses mass balance equations canprovide much information. However, in order to have efficient process models and software sensors, a previous adjustment of the model is necessary using on-line data collected from a plant under different operational conditions. This databank is important to guarantee that the model remains calibrated and represents the plant adequately. Some requisites are indispensable for the experimental implementation of models in software sensors response speed to disturbances in the system and appropriate inference of primary variables of interest during key points of the process.

The Total Human Exposme Risk DataBase and Advanced Simulation Environment (THERdbASE) is a data/model management system which contains total human exposure information. THERdbASE is a USEPA-sponsored modeling platform which is being developed and upgraded by the Exposure Modeling and Software Engineering Division of InfoScientific, Inc. (Butler and Engelman, 1998). 

Operating Mannals need to be formally reviewed as fit for purpose by the supplier as they form the basis of User Procedures and User Qualification. Operating Manuals must be kept up to date with developments to the compnter systems to which they relate, and they mnst refer to specific hardware models and software versions making up the computer system being snpplied. Recommended ways of working defined by the snpplier should be verified as part of the development testing. 

Besides the constraints in knowledge and understanding, decision makers may simply not have the time to assess every single submitted model from scratch. Better documentation, guidance documents, standardized models, and software would make evaluation of submitted models more efficient and reproducible. In general, EMs for pesticide risk assessments need to explicitly address the issues of regulations, for example, safety factors.
