   Hello Jeroen,   Thank you for your response.  It was a practical question.  I understand the theory.  What is the reason different packages show such different results and present eigenvalues  differently?  What is the best way?    NONMEM demonstrated much larger max/min values but did not

Dear Pavel, Are you using MATRIX=R when using NONMEM or the default sandwich estimator for the covariance matrix? Most nonlinear regression packages use the equivalent of MATRIX=R in NONMEM. You might try MATRIX=R on the $COV step and then compare to Monolix. Ken Sent from my iPhone > On

NONMEM demonstrated very large differences in objective function when variability or correlations were added or removed.  Monolix demonstrated close-to-insignificant differences.  When differences in software start to affect important conclusions it becomes interesting.  It feels like we need t

Dear All, Could statisticians out there help me to understand the use of the Box-Cox transformation? I found the old discussion here: http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/current/2010-June/1721.html Specifically: Box-Cox transformation TVCL=THETA(1) BXPAR=THETA(2) PHI = EXP(ETA(1)) ETATR = (PHI

Hi Pavel, For starters, it is simple to calculate using R: mymat<-abs(matrix(rnorm(25^2),ncol=25)) mymat <- mymat /max(mymat) #replace mymat with your nonmem $cov matrix eigenval<-eigen(mymat,symm=T)$values# should be similar to nonmem reported cn<-max(eigenval)/min(eigenval) eigenva

Hello Pavel, Could you share the COV matrices from Monolix and NONMEM? I have an idea of what could be going on, but it would be good to see the matrices to check if the hypothesis makes sense. Best, Matt From: owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com [mailto:owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com] On Beha
