aProspective prediction and/or retrospective analysis are done to analyze the human food effects. In this study, if the parameters used in the models are not optimized using observed human PK data in the food effect study, the modeling approach is considered as prospective prediction. Retrospective analysis can be used to refine the model if parameters in the model are unknown or can not be well characterized from experiments
