Introduction

Pharmacokinetics of Theophylline is a Shiny application based on the Theoph dataset from R Datasets.

It was developed for the following reasons:

  • A way of simplyfing this interesting R dataset and making it more accessible to people who do not know their way around R;

  • A way to explain pharmacokinetic principles such as absorption time, plasmatic concentration, area under the Curve and the such using simple and beautiful plots without the hassle of having to write code;

Making plots the old fashioned way

require(ggplot2)
require(datasets)

Theoph <- Theoph

#plot for subject 1
conc <- qplot(Time, conc, data = subset(Theoph, Subject == 1))

Making plots the old fashioned way

plot(conc)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2
