It is easy to specify initial conditions for differential equations when they are simple functions of parameters in the model. Is that possible to specify initial conditions in NONMEM when they are functions of both dose and parameters in the model (Example: A(1)[T=0]=f(dose,Ke,Protein production,Vd))? 2. Can NONMEM change diffetential equations during integration process between events? For example, if we have A2=A(2) A3=A(3) IF (A2.LT.A3) THEN DADT(2)=..... DADT(3)=..... ELSE DATD(2)=... DADT(3)=..... ENDIF Will NONMEM change differential equations during integration between events? 3. Is that possible/difficult to specify complex models of errors (constant CV, exponential, etc.) in SAS? (I want to validate results using independent software.) Thank you!
