AUC: Calculate Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Area Under the first Moment Curve (AUMC) in a table format
Description
Calculate Area Under the Curve(AUC) and the first Moment Curve(AUMC) in two ways; 'linear trapezoidal method' or 'linear-up and log-down' method.
Return a table of cumulative values.
Usage
AUC(x, y, down = "Linear")
Arguments
x
vector values of independent variable, usually time
y
vector values of dependent variable, usually concentration
down
either of "Linear" or "Log" to indicate the way to calculate AUC and AUMC
Value
Table with two columns, AUC and AUMC; the first column values are cumulative AUCs and the second column values cumulative AUMCs.
Details
down="Linear" means linear trapezoidal rule with linear interpolation.
down="Log" means linear-up and log-down method.
