st: Re: Area Under Curve

["Sergiy Radyakin" <Radyakin@aoek.uni-hannover.de>]

Hello Paola,

here is an example:
http://www.boomer.org/c/p3/c02/c0210.html

refer to the formula AUC(1-n)

*** Since you need only the area under the curve, but above 180, transform 
your data first:
replace c=(c-180)*(c>180)
*** c is your concentration variable
*** Since t(n)-t(n-1) is always 5 minutes, so you can simplify the 
calculations.
gen y=c
replace y=c[_n]+y[_n-1] if _n>1
di y[_N]/2*5


This will yield mg.min/L. If you want mg.hr/L, replace 5 in the last 
expression with 5/60, etc


Regards, Sergiy
