See the documentation for $DATA. Set up multiple problems within a single control file. Use the RECORDS= option to select the number of data records for 50 patients, use the NOREWIND option so that for each problem, the data for the next 50 patients.

Is there an easy way that anybody knows to automatically repeat the parameter estimation while substituting the new data each time? Thanks, Kehua
