I want to thank all of you for helping me out with this model, you were really helpful.  I have another question to ask concerning some hierarchical model predictions, but first let me describe the model more fully.  The model below is designed to fit a 2 compartment pharmacokinetic model with first order absorption.  Mathematically,  a drug is injected into a "Muscle" compartment and then this drug slowly diffuses into the blood stream (at a rate ka) which is part of the "Central" compartment. The central compartment is an abstraction consisting of all tissues of the body which exchange fluids readily with blood.  The central compartment (compartment 1) is connected to a so called "peripheral" compartment (compartment 2) which diffuses liquids and drug compounds more slowly.  The flow rate from compartment 1  to compartment 2 is denoted k12 and the reverse flow is denoted k21.  The elimination of drug compound from the body occurs from the central compartment and is denoted ke.  The effective volume of the central compartment is denoted V.  Mathematically, the expected concentration at time t in the central compartment after a dose is given at time t0 by





Y(t) =  A exp( - ka (t - t0) ) +  B  exp( - alpha (t-t0) ) + C exp( - beta (t-t0))



Where A, B, C, alpha, and beta  are complicated functions of { V, ka, ke, k12, k21}



In an experiment  4 doses were given to 17 separate monkeys on days {0, 7, 14, 21}   and blood draws (and concentration measurements) for each of the monkeys were made on the 2nd, 4th and 7th days after each injection.  Ok, here is my question.  I have set up my model to be a hierarchical model  where each monkey is allowed to have there own set of pharmacokinetic parameters  {V[i], ka[i], ke[i],k12[i],k21[i]} for i = 1:17.  Actually, to ensure that each of these parameters are positive I let  V[i] = exp( LV[i])  and I let LV[i]  ~  N  (muLV, sigmaV)



Now, according to hierarchy, each of my monkey specific  parameters  LV[i], i=1:17, should be a draw from a common distribution  N(muLV, sigmaV)  which has a common mean of muLV and a common standard deviation of  sigmaV.  Ok,  here is my question now



If I look at a summary of my output (based upon 10000 draws from posterior after adaption phase of 10000 draws) I see that the mean of LV for each monkey is roughly -20 or so...

Iterations = 10001:20000

However,  if I look at the population mean  or overall mean  muLV  I see that it is centered roughly at -0.02 or so:

               Mean       SD  Naive SE Time-series SE

muLV       -0.01882 0.385593 2.226e-03      0.0020359







My question is what could be driving the disconnect between the population overall mean and the individual level predictions??  Weird isn't it?



I have attached my model code, data and inits below.  Thank you so much for your help.

After that there were still some missing initial values but I generated them with the gen inits button and then clicked model>save state to get the values before the first interation which in my case were.

Subject: [BUGS] Question on Initialing  Nodes



Hello Bugs help group.   I am attempting to fit a 2 compartment pharmacokinetic model on some data where Monkey's were given 4 separate injections of mercury to 17 monkey's and the blood concentration was observed over the course of many days.   The pharmacokinetic model is non-linear in the parameters and there were missing Y observations observed.  There are 5 variables in my particular 2 compartment model:  V, ka, ke, k12, and k21.  Because there were 4 separate doses at different days, we basically utilize the superposition principle which adds the response.



Here is my question, when I run the code below the model compiles ok.  However,  the program says "initial values loaded but chain contains unitialized variables".  Is this an error message due to the fact that some of the Y observations are missing?  Is there a way to look at the nodes and tell which ones are unitialized?



Thanks for your kind assistance.

Kindly,

David King

Subject: Re: [BUGS] General question about data error and Bayesian updates



I've done this in the past by using both the observed (actually estimated, as you say) mean (y[i]) and variance (prec[i]) as the

"data":



  y[i] ~ dnorm(mu, prec[i])



thus, your final posterior estimate of mu will incorporate the varying "uncertainty" associated with each data value.

The data I am gathering can't be directly sensed but must be inferred from ancillary data that you can sense. The outcome of the simple model is really a PDF where you can use say the median or mean as your "data".  I would rather use the entire PDF somehow. I've seen Hierarchical models but they are dealing with the Prior. Not me - I want to update my prior (which is by the way hierarchical) with my "pdf data".

> Shedding just a little more light on it - At the end of the day.  I intend to use some statistic of the posterior distribution (e.g. expected value) as my final answer. I was thinking if I drew X simulations of all my N "data" giving me X simulations of the posterior update, then I would get a X simulations of that statistic and i would have successfully propogated my uncertainty through the system.
