Hyewon, Sorry -- I just realized that EFF is not the drug effect but 1-drug effect so that it has a value of 1 when AUC is zero. Please ignore my remarks about EFF being zero when AUC is zero in my comments below and consider this code to describe the effect of AUC on hazard: HAZNOW=LAMD*AL

Hyewon, The most obvious problem with your code is in $DES. You must use the variable T not the variable TIME when referring to a time varying hazard. TIME is the time on each data record. It does not change in $DES. T is the time from the last data record upto the current data record and cha

Hi Hyewon My 2 cents of advice: 1. Note that you need to estimate the baseline hazard. You can then add AUC as a covariate on the baseline hazard, or perhaps the Weibull shape factor. 2. Because of my limited experience, I am not sure of the type of survival distribution you are trying to model, bu

Dear NMuser I am trying to analyze time to repeated event data using NONMEM. The response were obtained till 24 hours after drug administration. Inhibitory Emax model was implemented. I am getting unreasonable parameter estimates which is far beyond what data say. If some body can point out what i
