Dear Katrin, You still could code your model in $ERROR using TIME, as your diurnal rhythm is proportional to baseline. If you would like to explore indirect models, you could try the harmonic approach as described in Chakraborty et al. 1999 - http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/10533696; the

Hi, From a purely technical point of view, you can use TIME in your $ERROR record if you want to implement your drug effect as a direct effect on top of the circadian rhythm (this type of model may or may not appropriate, I leave you judge of that). SinfS = ( 1 + Amplitude * sin ( (2*PI/Peri

Dear Bill, dear all Thanks so much for your answer. More concrete I would like to model blood pressure including a circadian rhythm. Therefore I would like to use a sine or cosine function with ‘T’ instead of ‘Time’. SinfS = ( 1 + Amplitude * sin ( (2*PI/Period) * (T-Phase) ) ) ; sine or cos
