Re: [NMusers] Estimation method for ETAs with POSTHOC

2017-05-07 Thread Rong Chen
Hi Tingjie,I think this article could answer your question by indicating the objective function used to estimate post hoc eta and how to reproduce the estimate process in R. There were R codes example of a one-compartment PK model with 3 etas to be estimated. Title: R-based reproduction of the e

rmula that I can use which does not have this numerical problem?  Maybe youcan try Stu's "double exponential error model": Y = LOG(F+M) +(F/(F+M))*ERR(1) + (M/(F+M))*ERR(2).  Best regards, Rong Chen School ofPharmaceutical Science Peking University Beijing, China Fr

Dear Ana, I think the matrix presented in your email is already able to realize your idea if you change '$OMEGA' to '$OMEGA BLOCK(6)'.A value of 0 in OMEGA matrix is considered as it's fixed to this value. Personall speaking, I suggest you take Elke/Rudy's advice, putting these three in an $OMEG
