RE: T S R matrices

From:"Stephen Duffull" Subject:[NMusers] RE: T S R matrices Date:Mon, March 11, 2002 7:49 pm Hi Sorry to continue this thread further... Could someone please clarify why the R matrix may not be available when selecting MATRIX=R in the $COV statement? I'm not sure why the method would fail to provide the matrix? I have often requested this matrix and NONMEM returns the answer ... R MATRIX ALGORITHMICALLY SINGULAR AND ALGORITHMICALLY NON-POSITIVE DEFINITE COVARIANCE STEP ABORTED The confusing thing for me is that it doesn't matter that the R matrix is singular since I'm not asking NONMEM to find its inverse - I'm just interested in seeing the matrix itself. Is there some way in which I can get NONMEM to provide the matrix even if it is singular.
