Pharmacometrics

In drug development and clinical settings, the data available commonly present Markovian features and are increasingly often modeled using Markov elements or dedicated Markov models. This tutorial presents the main characteristics, evaluations, and applications of various Markov modeling approaches including the discrete-time Markov models (DTMM), continuous-time Markov models (CTMM), hidden Markov models, and item-response theory (IRT) model with Markov sub-models. The tutorial has a specific emphasis on the use of DTMM and CTMM for modeling ordered-categorical data with Markovian features.

The main body of this tutorial is written in a software-neutral manner and annotated NONMEM code for all key Markov models is included in the supplementary information.
