BAYESIAN THEORY APPLICATION IN POPULATION PHARMACOKINETICS

Bayesian theory is a very powerful tool in population pharmacokinetics and personalized medication therapy as it provides an instrument for statistical analysis for integrating the new data with the priority obtained information. Healthcare professionals can design treatment plan with this method, which is very helpful in-case of sparse or noisy data, less sampling and unpredictability. Bayesian theory is a useful application for making decisions because of uncertainty, even in-case of problems with prior assumption or biasness. This article addresses the concept of Bayesian theory, mathematical equations, its application in various field, advantages and challenges along with its use in future research areas. Keywords: Bayesian theory, pharmacokinetic parameters, population pharmacokinetics.
