There are essentially two ways NONMEM obtains gradients needed for performing the pseudo-Newton minimization. One involves only numerical derivatives, the other involves a combination of analytical and numerical derivatives. As you might imagine, the first is often slower than the second. It is therefore used less often. It is used when NUMERICAL is specified. nmconsult@globomax.com GloboMax LLC 7250 Parkway Drive, Suite 430 Hanover, MD 21076 Voice: (410) 782-2205 FAX: (410) 712-0737
