RE: different COMRES statements

Frederick: I don't understand the references to $PRIOR. This is not a feature of NONMEM VI 1.0 or 1.2, although it will be of 2.0. Perhaps you are referring to the new feature introduced with NONMEM VI: user-supplied PRIOR subroutine and utility programs NWPRI and TNPRI. How does the use of COMRES interact with the use of these subroutines? COMRES and the COM(i) variables are used to provide values for NONMEM to display in tables, and can also be used to preserve values of the same variable between different passes through the data (e.g., between passes when etas are 0 vs. conditional.) Are you perhaps attempting to put values of CNT (the contribution to the objective function computed by NWPRI or TNPRI) in a table? Or are you using some other feature of NONMEM that involves use of COM(i), and $PRIOR was a typing error? Andrew, I agree with everything you wrote, except that I can't understand what it has to do with "$PRIOR functionality in NONMEM." Perhaps you mean "PRIOR functionality", and the difficulty is that, when all of OMEGA is written, some of the OMEGA values were fixed values supplied in the control stream for computation of the priors, and are of no interest in the output table. I can see the difficulty, but cannot understand its relationship to the COMRES/COM(i) feature.
