[NMusers] Modeling Cmin and Tmin

2011-04-06 Thread Friederike Kanefendt
Dear NMUser, I am a beginner in NONMEM and I have a question regarding modeling Cmin and Tmin. I have data of a biomarker which decreases after drug intake and I want to determine the minimum change from baseline (Cmin) as well as the corresponding time (Tmin). I tried different models but t

Dear Friederike, Please, step back for one minute and try to understand what you want to find out: You are applying a nonlinear mixed-effects modelling program to obtain parameter values for your model. All parameters in your model are random variables. Some have a mean of zero (ETAs, EPSs) som

Dear Joachim, thank you for your explanations. My plan was not to determine the typical value or distribution for this parameters (as THETA or ETA) but to determine the minimum biomarker concentration for each ID with the appropriate time for further correlation studies with outcome etc. I tr

Dear NonMEM users, I want to code a two sequential absorption processes with 2 CMT: zero-order absorption for the first 2.99 hours and then first-order absorption for the rest time. My code is listed as below. My question is when I change K0 (zero-order absorpption rate), the predicted concen

Friederike, You can just as well enrich the individual records of each ID with additional times using EVID=2. Then you get predictions for all compartments at these additional times for each ID with its optimal set of ETA estimates without altering the OBFV or the estimates. You can then list t

Joachim, Yes, I included dummy observations before each new dosing time, therefore, it is maybe the easiest way to read my table in R and let R determine the minimum biomarker conc for each ID Thank you very much, Friederike Von: Joachim Grevel [mailto:jgre...@o2.co.uk] Gesendet: Mittwo

Dear Friederike, Below are an example of code for obtaining Cmax and Tmax for a simple PK model (I know there are analytical solutions for this, it is only intended as a simple example of a general approach). This can easily be manipulated to instead obtain Cmin and Tmin with another kind of mo

Hello, I think that the model that you refer to is called the KOKA absorption model (Holford et al. J Pharmacokinet Biopharm. 1992; 20:421-42). You don't need $DES, it can be easily coded using ADVAN4 (it will greatly reduce your run time). I guess you know what fraction of the dose enters as a
