description_AIC {bear} | R Documentation |
This method selects data points to estimate lambda(z) based on the minimun AIC values. It starts with the last three data points from the concentration -time profile, performing log-linear regression to calculate the slope of that tail portion of the concentration-time curve. And then the last 4 data points, the last 5 data points, on and on until it reaches the data point right after Cmax. Thus, this method will not include the data point of (Tmax, Cmax).
