LinAUC function

Area Under the Curve(AUC) and Area Under the first Moment Curve(AUMC) by linear trapezoidal method

It calculates AUC and AUMC using the linear trapezoidal method

LinAUC(x, y)

Arguments

• x: vector values of the independent variable, usually time
• y: vector values of the dependent variable, usually concentration

Details

This function returns AUC and AUMC by the linear trapezoidal method.

Returns

• AUC: area under the curve

• AUMC: area under the first moment curve
