Hello everyone,

I wanted to know when we perform in vitro drug release experiments and fit them into various mathematical models:

1. How do we choose the best model based on the graph or the R-square value or something else?

2. the n value is supposed to be calculated only for the Korsmeyer-Peppas model or for all the models?

I am getting confused. Please help me understand.

Thanking you in advance.
