Dear NMusers, To continue the workshop advertizing section, we would like to mention that QuantPharm LLC in collaboration with AP2POP will present the workshop on Modeling Biologics with Target-Mediated Disposition on Tuesday 11 June 2013 (just before the start of the PAGE meeting). Details

[NMusers] M3 method and multiple LOQ values

2013-03-07 Thread Rebecca N. Burns
All, I am implementing the M3 method using NONMEM7.2. My error structure is proportional. I have two questions regarding the control stream shown below. 1. Is the control stream correct for a proportional error model? 2. Each DV has its own LOQ so I cannot give one LOQ value. I

Dear Rebecca, I think you want to change DUM=(LOQ-IPRED) To DUM=(LOQ-IPRED)/(SIG*IPRED) BTW, with the new NONMEM version, the need to fix SIGMA to 1 is no longer necessary as you can use SIGMA(1,1) on the right-hand side of expressions in $ERROR Your expression would then become $ER

Hi, Thanks Mats for pointing out this new feature coming up in NONMEM 7.3. An alternative less errorprone and computationally more efficient code is shown below. By defining SD in one expression it avoids errors (such as the one Rebecca made) that are introduced by using different expression

Actually, the ability to use SIGMA(1,1) on the right side has been around since NONMEM VI release 2. In the case of: PROP=THETA(1)*F ; proportional part ADD=THETA(2) ; additive part SD=SQRT(PROP*PROP + ADD*ADD) ; Standard deviation using proportional This could be transposed to: PROP=SQRT(SIGM
