Dear NONMEM Users,   we try to start a NONMEM run. An error report tells us that:   "FILE=Allrecords.txt this option is already been specified"   Do you have an idea how could we avoid this error?   Thanks a lot and many greetings from still rainy Cologne.   Paola and Lisa<>

I’m assuming that you may have specified the AllRecords.txt twice in your $TABLE statement $TABLE … FILE … FILE=AllRecords.txt Could be a possibility. Please send a control stream for a better diagnosis. Matt. From: owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com [mailto:owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com] On Beha

Paola, I agree with Nick that there may be little use for the DEL and W variables. The standard coding may be something like: $ERROR IPRED = F IRES = DV-IPRED W = THETA(#)*F DEL = 0 IF(W.EQ.0) DEL = 1 IWRES = IRES/(W+DEL) Y = F+EPS(1)*W The W represents the “weight” of the error model. In the

Dear Matt and all, In the code you gave, DEL is a protection when F=0 as it may be in a lag-time model, not only for IWRES but also for the model as such. You can’t have a proportional error model with a prediction of zero. Add an absolute error component or switch from a lag to a transit co
