Dear NMUser,


I am a beginner in NONMEM and I have a question regarding modeling Cmin and 
Tmin.

I have data of a biomarker which decreases after drug intake and I want to 
determine the minimum change from baseline (Cmin) as well as the corresponding 
time (Tmin). I tried different models but the estimated values for these 
parameters are not plausible or always zero.

Has someone experience with this or any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot



Best regards



Friederike



Attached I send you a part of my code:



$SUBROUTINE ADVAN6 TOL=3

...

$DES

...

DADT(5) = KIN*INH-KOUT*A(5)   ; Biomarker CMT

IF(TIME.EQ.0) THEN

CMIN = BASE                                       ; Baseline conc also 
estimated by NM

TMIN=0

ENDIF

CC=A(5)

IF(CC.LT.CMIN) THEN

CMIN= CC

TMIN= T

ENDIF

REL = CMIN/BASE   ; change relative to baseline



...

$ESTIMATION SIG=2 PRINT=1 METHOD=1 INTER MAXEVAL=0 NOABORT
