Rate

Rate of dose

The Rate property of aScheduleDoseobject is a column vector instead of a row vector. For details, seeCompatibility Considerations.

Description

Rateis a property of aRepeatDoseorScheduleDoseobject.

This property defines how fast a dose is given. If the rate is set to0or an empty array[], then it is interpreted as a bolus (instantaneous) dose.

ForRepeatDoseobjects, you canparameterize the propertyby setting it to the name of a model-scoped parameter that is not being modified by a repeated assignment rule, an algebraic rule, or a rate rule. However, the parameter can be modified by an event.

Note

If you set theRate财产的dose, you must also specify theAmountproperty of the dose, and set theDurationParameterNameproperty to''. This is because the duration is calculated from the amount and rate.

Tip

You can create a combination of bolus and infusion doses by setting therate财产的ScheduleDose objectto a vector containing zeros and non-zeros.
