Program Description JGuiB® is a graphic front-end (GUI) written in Java
SE (used to be called "J2SE"; compiled
with JDK v5.0 update 04) designed and implemented to work with Boomer which is an
excellent PK/PD modeling program.
One does not
eventually need JGuiB at all to run Boomer if he or she is familiar
with Boomer under MS-DOS or Terminal mode (MacOS X).
JGuiB® turns interactive
(menu-driven) mode of Boomer into a GUI-based (window) application using
command-line mode of Boomer.
JGuiB® includes three most commonly used functions of Boomer in
PK/PD modeling: normal fitting, simulation and Bayesian estimation.
JGuiB® can process more than one
PK/PD model (max. 4 models in one project file) with various weighting
schemes simultaneously using one data set. Meanwhile, Bayesian estimation can
also be applied to the field of clinical pharmacokinetic services with only
one single data point Cp at steady-state.
Thanks to Dr. Bourne – the maker of
Boomer, for his sincere assistance through the whole project.
Currently, JGuiB® supports both PC
(Win 9.x/ME/NT/XP; Linux-Fedora Core 2 or 3 for PC Intel x86) and Macintosh
(MacOS X) computers.
Limitations Since
Boomer of Macintosh version (MacOS) (not
Boomer of Mac OS X system) does not support the command-line mode, JGuiB®
will not work with this version. For
more information, please refer to Boomer Online Manual at its website (http://www.boomer.org).
Documentation
not available.
Future Works JGuiB has not included all Boomer’s functions yet, such
as AUC
calculations (non-compartmental analysis), Monte-Carlo simulation, and many
more.
Since Boomer is still actively improved, JGuiB will certainly follow.
