خلاصه	Bioequivalence Analysis is a regulatory-grade statistical framework used to determine whether a test drug formulation (generic or reformulated) delivers the active ingredient to the systemic circulation at a rate and extent comparable to a reference product. Introduced by Donald J. Schuirmann in 1987, the method operationalizes equivalence through the Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) procedure, replacing the ambiguous absence-of-difference paradigm with an explicit equivalence margin evaluated on log-transformed pharmacokinetic endpoints such as AUC and C_max.	Population Pharmacokinetics (PopPK) is a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling framework that characterizes how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated across a patient population, estimating both typical population parameters and the magnitude of between-subject variability. Introduced by Sheiner, Rosenberg, and Marathe in 1977, it enables parameter estimation from sparse, routinely collected clinical data—making it indispensable in drug development, regulatory submissions, and individualized dosing.
