Hi all,
The suggestion by Dr.Piotrovskij is that we add an AMT data at time=0 for initializing the PD parameter. In fact myself and Atul were attempting the same way and it has a bug in it. It does not FIT the PD data at time=0. Instead, if we give a value of (say) 3.5 (which is actually the concentration at t=0) as the AMT, the PRED will be 3.5 (at t=0). In the second subject, if we give 4.5 as AMT, PRED will return as 4.5. Is there any alternative way of fitting E0?
