The extent of drug availability is often measured by the area under the concentration-time curve. In animal studies, experimental constraints can limit the number of observations available on each animal. Estimation of area under the curve and its standard error are straightforward when each animal is measured at each time point. Bailer and Nedelman et al., have described techniques for estimating the area under the curve and its standard error when each animal is measured once. Yeh has described a technique for the hybrid case where animals are measured more than once, but not at all time points. We describe a method for estimating area under the curve and its standard error which is applicable to all three types of designs. We give formulas for testing treatment differences, including dose trends and dose proportionality, in area under the curve for designs containing an arbitrary number of treatments. A jackknife estimator is also described.
