Dear NONMEM users:
According to NONMEM user guide, normal distribution is only used for demonstration
convenience and not the only distribution available for data analysis. Has anyone tried
other distributions for modeling, such as t-distribution to make the model more robust to
outliers? How can this be done? Any input is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
