Dear NMusers, I have a question also related to omega blocks. Would it be okay to have two such blocks? In my model for instance correlation between eta 1, 2, and 3 seem biologically plausible, as is a correlation between eta 4 and 5. Correlations between 1, 2, or 3 and eta 4 or 5 is high

Andreas, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I think its only necessary to enforce 0 to 1 boundaries on the individual value of F1 when one is modelling absolute bioavailability. In this example I gave the individual 'apparent' bioavailability can be due to a variety of differences from the

Nick, In your code example for the estimation of a 'relative bioavailability' wouldn't it be necessary to use a logit transformation to keep F1 between 0 and 1? Something like: F1 = 1/(1+exp(BSV_F1)) Regards, Andreas. Andreas Lindauer Department of C

Hi, It is indeed a nuisance to have to renumber all the ETAs if you have a complex model and you change the sequence of $OMEGA. You can of course choose to use the awk script which comes with WFN (http://wfn.sourceforge.net) translate an extended NM-TRAN control stream, which uses parameter

This should do the trick (rename ETAs): $OMEGA BLOCK(3) 0.1 ;CL1 0.01 0.1 ;F1 00.01 0.1 ;CL2 (do not FIX anything) Although I am not sure whether you need to estimate F1 for oral data (without IV). You could try to use ETA on V instead of ETA on F1. Leonid -

Nele, You'll need to rearrange/reassign your ETAs so that you can have correlation between CL(1) and F1, and CL(2) and F1, but not CL(1) and CL(2).  So, put ETA(1) on CL(1), ETA(2) on F1 and ETA(3) on CL(2), then $OMEGA like this:$OMEGA BLOCK(3) 0.1     ;CL(1) 0.01 0.1
