In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.
The area under the effect curve (AUEC) is an integral of the effect of a drug over time, estimated as a previously-established function of concentration. It was proposed to be used instead of AUC in animal-to-human dose translation, as computer simulation shows that it could cope better with half-life and dosing schedule variations than AUC.
Total drug exposure is most often estimated by area under the curve (AUC) methods, with the trapezoidal rule (numerical integration) the most common method. Due to the dependence on the length of x in the trapezoidal rule, the area estimation is highly dependent on the blood/plasma sampling schedule. That is, the closer time points are, the ...
To estimate the area under a curve the trapezoid rule is applied first to one-piece, then two, then four, and so on. One-piece. Note since it starts and ends at zero, this approximation yields zero area. Two-piece Four-piece Eight-piece. After trapezoid rule estimates are obtained, Richardson extrapolation is applied.
The main criticism to the ROC curve described in these studies regards the incorporation of areas with low sensitivity and low specificity (both lower than 0.5) for the calculation of the total area under the curve (AUC)., [19] as described in the plot on the right.
A right trapezoid (also called right-angled trapezoid) has two adjacent right angles. [13] Right trapezoids are used in the trapezoidal rule for estimating areas under a curve. An acute trapezoid has two adjacent acute angles on its longer base edge. An obtuse trapezoid on the other hand has one acute and one obtuse angle on each base.

Approximating the area under the curve y = x 2 over [0, 2] using the right Riemann sum. Notice that because the function is monotonically increasing, the right Riemann sum will always overestimate the area contributed by each term in the sum (and do so maximally).
