Dear all,
I have a question regarding a model which restrains all individual
parameter estimates to take values between 0 and 1. Im using the
following code:
PHI=LOG(THETA(7)/(1-THETA(7)))
P=EXP(PHI+ETA(4))/(1+EXP(PHI+ETA(4)))
My question is: How do I calculate the coefficient of variation for
THETA(7), if for example NONMEM gives a value of 0.7 for THETA(7) and and
a value of 6.4 for the respective diagonal element of the omega matrix? It
was called to my attention that in this case you cannot just take the
square root of diagonal element?
I would really appreciate your help!
