addCompartment (PKModelDesign)

Add compartment to PKModelDesign object

Syntax

PKCompartmentObj = addCompartment(PKModelDesignObj, CompObjName)
PKCompartmentObj = addCompartment(PKModelDesignObj, CompObjName, Name, Value)


Description

PKCompartmentObj = addCompartment(PKModelDesignObj, CompObjName) constructs a PK compartment with the specified name and adds it to PKModelDesignObj, a PKModelDesign object.

PKCompartmentObj = addCompartment(PKModelDesignObj, CompObjName, Name, Value) constructs a PK compartment with the specified name, and with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

PKModelDesignObj	PKModelDesign object to which you want to add a compartment
CompObjName	Name of the PKCompartment object that is constructed, specified as a character vector or string.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Optional comma-separated pairs of Name, Value arguments, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside single quotes (''). You can specify several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,…,NameN,ValueN.

DosingType	Character vector (or string) specifying the mechanism for drug absorption. Choices are: 'Bolus' 'Infusion' 'ZeroOrder' 'FirstOrder' '' (default) For more information, see Dosing Types.
EliminationType	Character vector (or string) specifying the mechanism for drug elimination. Choices are: 'Linear' 'Linear-Clearance' 'Enzymatic' '' (default) For more information, see Elimination Types.
HasResponseVariable	Logical indicating if the drug concentration in this compartment is reported. Multiple compartments in a model can have this property set to true. Default is false. Note If you perform a parameter fit on a model, at least one compartment in the model must have a HasResponseVariable property set to true.
HasLag	Logical indicating if any dose targeting this compartment have a lag associated with them. Default is false.

These optional name-value pair arguments set the corresponding property of the PKCompartment object. You can also set these properties after creating the PKCompartment object by using the following syntax:

PKCompartmentObj.PropertyName = Value

For example:

PKCompartmentObj.DosingType = 'Bolus'

Output Arguments

PKCompartmentObj

PKCompartment object
