The present specification, discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for specifying the design and execution related parameters of a technical study by creating and using a decision tree. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a decision tree is created that has interdependent decision nodes. One or more decision choices is associated with each interdependent decision nodes. The interdependent decision nodes are ordered in a hierarchical manner such. that a selection of one of the decision choices dynamically and functionally determines the manner in which a subsequent decision choice is affected. This embodiment of the present invention has utility for objectively defining study parameters and thereby substantially stream lining the design specification process for complex technical studies.
A method of creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on toxicology studies, comprising:
A method of creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on a pharmaceutical drug research, development and commercialization activity, comprising:
A method of using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
A method of using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
An apparatus for creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on toxicology studies, comprising:
An apparatus for creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on a pharmaceutical drug research, development and commercialization activity, comprising:
An apparatus for using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
An apparatus for using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
An article of manufacture comprising a computer program carrier readable by a computer and embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform the method of creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on toxicology studies, comprising:
An article of manufacture comprising a computer program carrier readable by a computer and embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform the method of creating a decision tree for use with a technical study design specification, wherein the technical study design specification is based on a pharmaceutical drug research, development and commercialization activity, comprising:
An article of manufacture comprising a computer program carrier readable by a computer and embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform the method of using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
An article of manufacture comprising a computer program carrier readable by a computer and embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform the method of using a decision tree to generate a technical study design specification, comprising:
