Simulation with covariates
Dear NONMEM User
Having done a simple 2 compartment model containing variability on CL and V2
explained by a continoues covariate (BW) and a categorical covariate (DRUG)
variable like:
TVCL = THETA(1)*BW+THETA(2)
IF (DRUG.EQ.0) TVV2=TVV2*THETA(3)
IF (DRUG.EQ.1) TVV2=TVV2*THETA(4)
I then wish to do a simulation using ONLYSIM SUBPROBLEMS=1000
My question is how do I set up NONMEM to do a random selection of the
covariates during the simulation? Say that I want to pick values of BW between
10 and 100 by random and DRUG equal 0 or 1?
Thanks in advance
Kim
