[NMusers] Bootstrap, re-using inital model run results

2013-02-14 Thread Lommerse, JPM (Jos)
Hi

I would like to ask to NONMEM community whether it is possible to re-use the 
results of a nonmem model run when starting bootstrapping.
As I understand, a bootstrap run using PsN starts with a single calculation of 
the model of interest and data set as is. Once this initial model run
has completed, the actual bootstrapping starts by sampling from the initial 
data set to the requested number of samples.
However, the initial run often has been carried out already, and the bootstrap 
method this seems to be repeated.

I am dealing with a rather time consuming model / data set. Therefore I was 
wondering whether it is possible the re-use the results of a nonmem
model run and start the bootstrapping directly without repeating this initial 
nonmem model run. I was not able to find any option to do so. Perhaps there
is way around?

Thanks,

Jos

Dear Jos,

 

If you haven't run the original model (indicated by absence of lst-file with
the same prefix) psn will run it before the bootstrap. If you have run it,
PsN will not rerun it. It will use the results in the corresponding lst
file. If you have run it and called it something else, you could use the
"-out=xxx.yyy" to point to the correct file if that does not follow naming
conventions. If you have  not run it and really don't want to run it, you
could substitute xxx.yyy for some other output file with similar structure.

 

Best regards,

Mats

Dear Mats

My question is more related to boot strapping itself.

if data set and model I am working with takes long time to run, then during
bootstrap run I only run $EST and skip $COV step. We will get confidence
interval for parameter from bootstrap results.

What is your opinion on that?

Best regards

Dear Anuhbia,

Since bootstrap is performed to replace the estimation of precision that 
is performed in the $COV step, you definitively do not need the $COV 
option when you do a bootstrap. 

Then CI are obtained based on the quantiles of the bootstrap estimates.

[NMusers] Dose-response-time modeling: PhD/Early Stage Research Studentship

2013-02-14 Thread Mats Jirstrand
PhD/early stage research studentship available in a Marie Curie 
EU-funded joint project by University of Warwick, AstraZeneca, 
Fraunhofer-Chalmers Research Centre for Industrial Mathematics, and 
Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences on Modelling Dose Response 
Time Outcome Relationships.


Application deadline: 22nd February 2013

Start date: 1st June 2013

Duration: Three years

The project addresses the development and improvement of methodologies 
for analyzing dose-response-time data when systemic (plasma) exposure is 
sparse or lacking. Extending and applying tools and techniques from 
systems and control theory and in particular nonlinear estimation such 
as Kalman filtering will be central to developing methodology for this 
situation. Dose-response-time data analysis (DRT) enables us to more 
efficiently (quantitatively) analyze and draw conclusions about the 
underlying rate processes where traditional single-point assessment or 
area under the response-time curve approach generally fail. Hopefully, 
this also allows a more robust design tool for future pharmacodynamic 
experiments in both animals and man. The candidate student should have a 
strong background (MSc or equivalent) in biological 
engineering/numerical techniques/computing science/chemical engineering, 
and life science courses. A track record in pharmacokinetics/dynamics 
would also be beneficial.



(Closing date: Feb 22, 2013)

For further details and online application see 
.
