Prediction Curve
Hi. We are running NONMEM on HP-UX 9.03 for a long period. Using
a nonlinear model (ADVAN8 including linear and nonlinear
elimination processes and different terms for inter occasional
variabilities), I had the wish to make predictions on all non
measured time points.
Sometimes it is working using these additional records:
EVID=0, PCMT=CMT=2, CONC=DV=0, and MDV=1
or
EVID=2, PCMT=CMT=2, CONC=DV=0, and MDV=1
and a MSFI-file which is the result of a prior succesfully
finished run without these add. records and a MSFO-file.
But in most cases NONMEM crashes with the following
*** FORTRAN I/O ERROR 933: END (OR BEGIN) OF FILE WITH NO "END=" SPECIFIER
FILE: FILE19, UNIT: 19
LAST FORMAT: (34(1X,1P,E11.4))

( 7) 0x000102b4 nonmem + 0x22c [./nmd.27205]
and in the output

NUMERICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH INTEGRATION ROUTINE.
MAXIMUM NO. OF EVALUATIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS, 100000, EXCEEDED.
0PROGRAM TERMINATED BY PRRES
Excluding all the additional points, the run is coming to a
successfully end using the same MSFI-file.
In both cases NONMEM terminates with
0MINIMIZATION TERMINATED
DUE TO INABILITY TO PROCEED BEYOND TERMINATION POINT OF PREVIOUS SEARCH
NO. OF FUNCTION EVALUATIONS USED: 0
NO. OF SIG. DIGITS IN FINAL EST.: .0
but this is due to the nonchanging SIGDIGITS from the first to the
second run, and changing this number is only increasing the CPU-time, which
is for the first run about 4 hours (only FO and POSTHOC) !!
Did I make some mistakes in including the additionals ?
