My thanks to Leonid and Mats.  Leonid points out that the equations for CL were not equivalent in the simulation and estimate runs SIM CL=(Z*(CL1 + CLr) + (1.0-Z)*(CL2 + CLr))* EXP(ETA(i))  ; correct EST CL=((Z*CL1 + CLr) + ((1.0-Z)*CL2 + CLr))*EXP(ETA(i)) ; w

Dear Paul, All OMEGAs are zero during simulation? So I'm thinking about what that would mean for ETA_CL if is not fixed to zero when fitting; what would happen to ETA_CL if not all estimated subgroups are equal to the simulated ones, or the effect of a less than perfect fit on ETA_CL might be d

Dear Paul, I don't think you should expect the same ETA for CL under the two mixtures, but estimate two separate ones as shown below.. Note also that the estimate of ETA you get in the table file is the one from the most probable mixture component (whereas the contribution from both mixture compon

Dear Users: I note the Jan 26, 2013 response to Nick Holford's query about results from the use of the $MIX mixture model for simulation. I have created a data set of N=100 subjects using R to randomly distribute their covariates, both continuous and categorical. I then ran the following sim
