Research Abstract |
Over 100 limited sampling strategies (LSSs) have been proposed to reduce the number of blood samples necessary to estimate the optimal dose of drugs. However, the conditions under which these strategies succeed or fail remain to be clarified. We investigated the accuracy of existing LSSs both theoretically and numerically. Our investigation proved that existing LSSs induce different but specific biases in the estimation of the dose. We also proposed a new method for the estimation and proved that it provides an accurate and precise estimation of the optimal dose.
