Dear Diane-Charlotte,

NONMEM interprets DATE in your in-data and makes use of it. If you don’t want 
that, rename DATE to something that is not recognized. Each date aboce the 
first adds 24 h to your time column

Best regards,
Mats

Subject: Re: [NMusers] variation of time values in output data

Thank you, Leonid, for your answer but you can see (below) it’s not a rounding 
issue ; there are udge variations of time ?!!!

<lgibian...@quantpharm.com<mailto:lgibian...@quantpharm.com>>:
it could be rounding issue when the precision of the TIME in the data file 
exceeds the precision of the TIME in the output of the table. You could 
increase precision of the output using format statement (see manual). Other 
than that, NONMEM should not change TIME variable.

Dear nonmem users,

We used the option “-2 RATE” of NONMEM (actual rate of infusion is
unknown): within the control stream:

D1=THETA(1)

Moreover, since several infusions are given to the same patients, we
have added an inter-occasion variability on D1 (see code below)*

We obtained nice fit BUT in the OUTPUT DATA: TIME values corresponding
to blood samples (and DV) are not identical to the actual TIME values of
the INPUT data !?

It seems that NONMEM program adjusts rate values, their interoccasion
variability, and sampling times to have a good fit

*How to fix TIME value corresponding to blood samples ? Indeed, we do
not know the actual infusion rate but we do know the sampling times.*

Can anyone tell me if I chose the right model or help me resolving this?

Thanks in advance,
