model makes the most sense to use. The following model is suggested in the manual for Xpose 2.0. $ERROR DEL=0 IF(F.EQ.0) DEL=1 IPRED=F W=(F**2+THETA(.)**2)**0.5 ; constant + nonmem proportional error model proportional W=W+DEL IRES=DV-IPRED IWRES=IRES/W Y=IPRED+W*EPS(1) Niclas Johhson cautioned me about the following:

sure your problems with the first model is not due to a non-fixed SIGMA?" It was my understanding that THETA(.) in the line W=(F**2+THETA(.)**2)**0.5 would provide the standard deviation (proportional

part). The Sigma would be the variance for the constant CV portion. I did not use a fixed Sigma. If I do fix Sigma, would I add another Theta value to include the constant CV part. i.e. W=(((F**2)+THETA(.)**2)**0.5 + THETA(..) ???? The simplist control file will run without errors if the Sigma is fixed at 1. In my case, I have additive error nonmem 1-7 zero concentrations prior to the first detectable concentrations. The average Tlag was about 2 hours, although there were a few subjects without any apparent Tlag. I took note of the mixture model discussed recently; however, the presence or absense of Tlag is not determined by any known event. Tlag estimate is 0.622 which appears to be short. In a previous message via nmusers, Leonid Gibiansky suggested that I use a simplier model - e.g. Y = F*(1+EPS(1))+EPS(2). If this model is used, I do not know how to get IWRES for using Xpose. Clearly, there are DV values that need to be handled as true 0's. Is it possible to increase weighting for 0 concentrations so that the model can use this data to estimate the lag time better. Obviously, I would not want to influence the fits in a bad way. I can get out all concentrations equal to 0 except those that occur between the dose time and the time of the first detectable concentration. Also, I can get rid of the 0 just prior to the first detectable concentration since this ma

about MM model. The control stream that I used was copy-paste from the real project that worked just fine both for simulations and estimation. Modeling requires common sense and iwres nonmem diagnostics: the same model that is good for one dataset can be terrible iwrestledabearonce for the other one. Moreover, for any error model you propose I can present you with the hypothetical situation that would violate the model assumption. That is why modeling is interactive process: you try one model (whether it is the error model variation or number of compartments, or type of nonlinearity) look on the diagnostics, http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/nm/99may232001.html correct the model, etc, until you are happy with the outcome. The problem that you pointed out is obvious, and indeed, manifest itself sometimes: I've seen it on several real data sets. If you face it, you just need to correct the error model to be in agreement with your data. For the log-transform, I would like to re-iterate that this is simply a trick to implement exponential error https://www.mail-archive.com/nmusers@globomaxnm.com/msg02446.html model in nonmem. What you and Nick say is that the proportional (or additive+proportional) model is good enough in most cases, and I would agree with it. But in some rear cases (I've seen in in the problem with noisy data for the PD biomarkers), the true exponential is much better, and then you have no choice except to log-transform. As to the bioanalytical data with negative concentrations, I do not believe that you will get them (on any FDA-submitted analysis) any time soon. Moreover, this could be irrelevant to the use of the additive part of the error model: more often that not, this additive part is much larger than the assay error, so it comes from some other sources, and I guess, those "other sources" cannot result in negative values. In those cases, error models with positive predictions would be more mechanistic.

They can be used to simulate alternative dose regimens, allowing for informed assessment of dose regimens before study conduct. This paper is the second in a three-part series, providing an introduction into methods for developing and evaluating population pharmacokinetic models. Example model files are available in the Supplementary Data online.BackgroundPopulation pharmacokinetics is the study of pharmacokinetics at the population level, in which data from all individuals in a population are evaluated simultaneously using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. “Nonlinear” refers to the fact that the dependent variable (e.g., concentration) is nonlinearly related to the model parameters and independent variable(s). “
