Welcome to Chi’s documentation!

Chi is an open source Python package hosted on GitHub, which is designed for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modelling.

The main features of chi are

• Simulation of mechanistic dose response models (differential equations) for arbitrary dosing regimens.

• Inference of mechanistic model parameters from data (classical or Bayesian).

• Simulation of the dose response variability in a population (hierarchical models/non-linear mixed effects models).

• Inference of population parameters from data (classical or Bayesian).

• Simulation of structured populations, where inter-individual variability can be partly explained by covariates.

• Inference of model parameters in a structured population from data (classical or Bayesian).

This page provides the API, or developer documentation for chi.

Note

This package is still in its infancy and is continuously being developed. So if you find any bugs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and share your feedback.
