\description{
  The \code{Theoph} data frame has 132 rows and 5 columns of data from
  an experiment on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline.}
\usage{Theoph}
\format{
  This data frame contains the following columns:
  \describe{
    \item{Subject}{
      a factor with levels \code{A}, \dots, \code{L} identifying the
      subject on whom the observation was made.
    }
    \item{Wt}{
      weight of the subject (kg).
    }
    \item{Dose}{
      dose of theophylline administered orally to the subject (mg/kg).
    }
    \item{Time}{
      time since drug administration when the sample was drawn (hr).
    }
    \item{conc}{
      theophylline concentration in the sample (mg/L).
    }
  }
}
\details{
  Boeckmann, Sheiner and Beal (1994) report data from a study by
  Dr. Robert Upton of the kinetics of the anti-asthmatic drug
  theophylline.  Twelve subjects were given oral doses of theophylline
  then serum concentrations were measured at 11 time points over the
  next 25 hours.

  These data are analyzed in Davidian and Giltinan (1995) and Pinheiro
  and Bates (2000) using a two-compartment open pharmacokinetic model,
  for which a self-starting model function, \code{SSfol}, is available.
