Re: some issues about NONMEM

From: "Gastonguay, Marc" - marc.gastonguay@snet.net Subject: Re: [NMusers] some issues about NONMEM Date: 2/11/2004 8:21 PM Dear nmusers, As Diane points out, it would be nice to have an official central repository of recommended NONMEM updates/patches and, unfortunately, posts to nmusers describing NONMEM patches are not easily retrievable. I don't think that any end-users would intentionally ignore recommended fixes; the problem seems to be a lack of awareness and a less than optimal method of communicating these recommendations. In an effort to help the user community identify the necessary patches, I am sharing an UNOFFICIAL list of recommended NONMEM code patches (for supported NONMEM routines) that I have accumulated since NONMEM V level 1.1 was released. I think that all of these have been announced by the NONMEM Project Group over nmusers, and I would suggest that this list should be used as a checkpoint for keywords to search the nmusers archive for the original posting. Please do not use my list as the source for your code patches. I cannot verify that this list is complete, but in the absence of an official list, this should provide some practical guidance. Please keep in mind that some of these fixes will have little or no impact on some problems. Details are usually provided with each patch announcement. If you are concerned that you have missed any of these, you should probably test the impact of these code changes on any prior analyses that you think might have been affected. I hope that this is useful and that it does not cause any additional confusion. I would, of course, be grateful for any corrections or additions to this list. In my opinion, the best solution would be an official, vendor-supported patch repository on the web. Marc ================================ Marc R.
