Dear Michael
My suggestion to your problem would be to put in the
data set for each patients all the dose record with
their respective time calculated from the first dose
given. This will take into account to problem of the
variability in the dose interval.
Then to had a event identification column EVID (see
nonmem manual) which would be equal to :
4 for when time = 0 (first dose of each patient)
1 for the other dose records with time different of 0
(this reset the dose comparmtent whitout reseting to 0
the amount in the observation compartment)
0 for the observation record
The only issue with my suggestion is the number of
records per patient allowed by NONMEM.
I hope that my suggestion will help
