Pharmacokinetic Modelling Using Stella on the Apple Macintosh

An introduction to STELLA, a computer program which allows time-dependent processes to be modelled and their behaviour investigated. Aimed at pharmacologists involved in modelling physiological reactions, it provides a way of constructing a model of a system and calculating its behaviour.

This book introduces STELLA, a program which allows time-dependent processes to be modelled and their behaviour investigated. It provides a simple way of constructing a model of a system, and automatically calculates its behaviour. Presenting a simple set of tools for assembling the model, emphasis is placed on "stocks" which represent the values of time-dependent qualities. Emphasis is also placed on "flow regulators" which regulate the changes in stocks.
