Abstract:
A new method for numerical deconvolution is described, for use in calculating drug input rates. The method is based on the least-squares criterion and approximates the input rate by a polynomial function. Ill-conditioning of the normal equations is avoided by using orthogonal functions. The use of the method is illustrated by means of examples, using simulated data.
