I don't think this could be considered as a solution to the problem of log(0). I have an example where the data simulated
with the 2-comp disposition model and
$ERROR
IPRE = -5
IF(F.GT.0) IPRE = LOG(F)
Y = IPRE + ERR(1)
were perfectly fitted with the 1-comp model having
$ERROR
M = THETA(n)
Y = LOG(F+M) + (F/(F+M))*ERR(1) + (M/(F+M))*ERR(2)
Best regards,
