Hi, Objective function value (OFV, MVO) decreased by 10 from 6000 when interoccasional variability (IOV) for three occasions is used. Standard errors decreased a little bit, but I cannot notice improvements of diagnostic plots.
Some use 3.84 criteria (a value from chi-square distribution) for one additional parameter. I think additional OMEGA SAME for IOV should be handled differently from theta, omega or sigma. (Though I don't like the above criteria using chi-square distribution,) I would like to know if there is similar quantitative criteria for IOV. Thanks, Kyun-Seop Bae
