We have been refining the Bayesian workflow picture (the actual workflow have been advocated by @StatModeling and others for many years). Simulating from the prior predictive is key, particularly for complex, non-linear models.

Dose alone can miss what matters when dosing schedules differ. PROP integrates PK/PD into a Bayesian platform trial’s toxicity, efficacy, and regimen decisions. Safety stopping remains a trade-off. arxiv.org/abs/2609.30072
