Tiivistelmä	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.	The pharmacokinetic compartment model represents the body as one or more hypothetical compartments interconnected by first-order rate processes, describing how a drug is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated over time. Systematized by Gibaldi and Perrier in 1982, these models use ordinary differential equations to characterize plasma concentration-time profiles. They are the cornerstone of drug development, dosage regimen design, and regulatory submission pharmacokinetic analyses.
