[NMusers] Access to iteration number if $PK or $PRED

2013-08-10 Thread Sebastien Bihorel
Hi, Is there a reserve variable in $PK or $PRED that one can call in an estimation run to know what it is current iteration number evaluated by NONMEM? Thank you -- Sébastien Bihorel

Sebastien, The current iteration is revealed by IREP. You cannot list this in $TABLE but you can do this: REP=IREP $TABLE REP Strange but true. Nick On 10/08/2013 2:07 p.m., Sebastien Bihorel wrote: Hi, Is there a reserve variable in $PK or $PRED that one can call in an estimation run t

If you mean the iteration number of the estimation, this is accessed through ITER_REPORT by inserting: $PK "FIRST "USE NMBAYES_INT, ONLY: ITER_REPORT Robert J. Bauer, Ph.D. Vice President, Pharmacometrics, R&D ICON Development Solutions 7740 Milestone Parkway Suite 150 Hanover, MD 21076 Tel: (2

[NMusers] Reducing ETAs actually decreased OFV

2013-08-10 Thread Xinting Wang
Dear all, Does anyone witnessed such a phenomenon in NONMEM as when you reduced an ETA, the OFV value, rather than increase, actually decreased? It's quite against intuition, as individual estimation should be better than population estimation in that particular parameter. Both models, whether hav
