Métabolisme des médicamentsDrug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as any drug or poison. These pathways are a form of biotransformation present in all major groups of organisms and are considered to be of ancient origin.
Tolerance intervalA tolerance interval (TI) is a statistical interval within which, with some confidence level, a specified sampled proportion of a population falls. "More specifically, a 100×p%/100×(1−α) tolerance interval provides limits within which at least a certain proportion (p) of the population falls with a given level of confidence (1−α)." "A (p, 1−α) tolerance interval (TI) based on a sample is constructed so that it would include at least a proportion p of the sampled population with confidence 1−α; such a TI is usually referred to as p-content − (1−α) coverage TI.
Truncated normal distributionIn probability and statistics, the truncated normal distribution is the probability distribution derived from that of a normally distributed random variable by bounding the random variable from either below or above (or both). The truncated normal distribution has wide applications in statistics and econometrics. Suppose has a normal distribution with mean and variance and lies within the interval . Then conditional on has a truncated normal distribution. Its probability density function, , for , is given by and by otherwise.
Test des rangs signés de WilcoxonEn statistique, le test des rangs signés de Wilcoxon est une alternative non-paramétrique au test de Student pour des échantillons appariés. Le test s'intéresse à un paramètre de position : la médiane, le but étant de tester s'il existe un changement sur la médiane. La procédure considère que les variables étudiées ont été mesurées sur une échelle permettant d'ordonner les observations en rangs pour chaque variable (c'est-à-dire une échelle ordinale) et que les différences de rangs entre variables ont un sens.
One-way analysis of varianceIn statistics, one-way analysis of variance (abbreviated one-way ANOVA) is a technique that can be used to compare whether two sample's means are significantly different or not (using the F distribution). This technique can be used only for numerical response data, the "Y", usually one variable, and numerical or (usually) categorical input data, the "X", always one variable, hence "one-way". The ANOVA tests the null hypothesis, which states that samples in all groups are drawn from populations with the same mean values.
False coverage rateIn statistics, a false coverage rate (FCR) is the average rate of false coverage, i.e. not covering the true parameters, among the selected intervals. The FCR gives a simultaneous coverage at a (1 − α)×100% level for all of the parameters considered in the problem. The FCR has a strong connection to the false discovery rate (FDR). Both methods address the problem of multiple comparisons, FCR from confidence intervals (CIs) and FDR from P-value's point of view. FCR was needed because of dangers caused by selective inference.
SynapomorphieEn phylogénétique, un caractère synapomorphique, ou synapomorphie, est un caractère dérivé (ou apomorphique), partagé par deux ou plusieurs taxons-frères. Le partage par au moins deux taxons certifie que la dérive du caractère n'est pas simplement contingente, mais est persistante et caractéristique de nouvelles espèces viables. Une synapomorphie détermine ainsi un groupe monophylétique strict, ou clade, seul type de groupe reconnu par le cladisme.
