Design and Optimization of Scored Tablets with Concave Surface and Application of Bayesian Estimation for Solving Scaleup Problem

From the viewpoint of self-medication, it is valuable to develop patient-friendly scored tablets that possess dividing uniformity. In this context, we attempted to optimize the preparation conditions for a tablet with a unique shape, such as a concavely curved scored tablet (CCST). Employing a design of experiment and a response surface method incorporating a thin-plate spline interpolation, and a bootstrap resampling technique, the optimal...
