The code for this utility, nmsee5.for, and instructions are available at: ftp://ftp.globomaxnm.com/Public/nonmem/nmsee/ To use the utility, compile the fortran code to create the executable nmsee5.exe, e.g.: c:\nmv\run> df nmsee5.for Then redirect the result file of a NONMEM or PDx-Pop run to the nmsee5.exe program: c:\nmv\run> nmsee5 < 101.res The output will be sent to the console and look something like this: PROBLEM NO. 1 aspirin 1CMT model w. lag INITIAL ESTIMATE OF THETA: 9.00E+01 6.00E+02 4.60E+00 2.30E-01 LOWER BOUND ON THETA: 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 UPPER BOUND ON THETA: 1.00E+06 1.00E+06 1.00E+06 1.00E+06 INITIAL ESTIMATE OF OMEGA: 1.50E-01 0.00E+00 2.60E-01 INITIAL GRADIENT: -2.04E+03 -1.15E+02 1.83E+02 -3.30E+02 -3.12E+02 -1.52E+01 FINAL GRADIENT: 1.57E-02 -1.14E-01 -1.44E-01 8.63E-01 3.77E-02 -1.10E-02 FINAL PARAMETER: 1.20E-01 1.06E-01 7.36E-02 1.11E-01 1.19E-01 -7.68E-06 MINIMIZATION SUCCESSFUL NO.
