Here is a simple illustration for an indirect action model. $MODEL COMP=(CENTRAL) ; Compartment 1 COMP=(RESP) ; Compartment 1 $PK KIN=THETA(1) KOUT=THETA(2) BASE=KIN/KOUT ; Baseline is the ratio of Kin and Kout ; INITIALISATION OF RESPONSE COMPARTMENT ; NEED to have AMT=1 at TIME=0 in compartment 2 F2=BASE Best regards, Pascal Girard
