About |popy|
##############

|popy| is a powerful |pkpd| (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic) modelling system 
written in |python|.

Its features include:

* Simulation and fitting of Nonlinear :ref:`Mixed Effect<more_detailed_explanation_of_fit_script>` models
* :ref:`PK<example_derivatives_pk>` and :ref:`PD<example_derivatives_pd>` modelling
* :ref:`Inter-occasion variability<inter_occasion_variation>`
* :ref:`Continuous<norm_dist_lik_example>` and :ref:`categorical<poisson_dist_example>` likelihoods
* Dosing functions including :ref:`Bolus<@bolus>`, :ref:`infusions <@inf_rate>` 
  and more

|popy| consists of a powerful set of :ref:`popy_tools` 
that typically operate on :ref:`script files <script_formats>`
to enable you to analyse a :ref:`PK/PD data file<input_data_format>` 
quickly and efficiently, 
while minimizing errors due to an elegant and intuitive syntax.

|popy| makes it easy to :ref:`fit models<simple_fit_example>` to data, 
but also has the ability to :ref:`simulate new population data<simple_tut_example>` 
to test hypothetical scenarios.
