Dear Palang, Thanks for sharing your experience. It seems you are facing a case of informative drop-out. It may be valuable to model it indeed, in order to maximize the information supporting your model and avoid a bias after 3 months based on non-randomly remaining patients when determining whe

Dear Michael, As you point out the truncation happens only for the output, so the correct identification delimitation was taken into account during the NONMEM process, however postprocessing needs make the output step critical and this truncation undesirable. The way to allow more digits to be re

Dear Paolo, Thanks for this interesting NMusers thread. I think the order you are describing really makes sense in theory, for the reasons you describe, but in brief because it seems covariates should be incorporated on a model already fully developed structurally and statistically, so this inclu

Dear Andreas, An approach you may consider is to model both the standard deviation and the average as dependent variables: SD=THETA(1)*EXP(ETA(1)) AV=(THETA(2)+DOSE*THETA(3))*EXP(ETA(2)) SESD=SD/(2*(N-1)**.5) SEAV=SD/N**.5 IF(FLAG.EQ.0) THEN Y = SD+SESD*EPS(1) ELSE Y = AV+SEAV*

Dear Nick, I agree, it must be "remembered" somewhere that log(R) is forbidden, because the simple following trick works (but won't once every 2 billion times, when 0 is picked): IF (ICALL.EQ.4) THEN T=0 N=0 DO WHILE (T.LT.1) CALL RANDOM (2,R) RA=R
