Ratios and Differences

The Ratios and Differences tool in Phoenix is a data manipulation tool that is used to compare data from either one or two worksheets by computing ratios or differences. The computations are based on sort variables and on a variable that defines how data values are to be used as the X values and Y values of the ratios/differences. In Pharmacokinetics, ratios are often computed for observation data collected under two different scenarios and for resulting final parameters from two NCA or Modeling executions. For discrete final parameters or log-transformed observation data, differences may be applicable instead of ratios.
