RE: output SE of population PK parameters in Nonmem

Rik, There is no "keyword" at present for these values. Lets call them "reserved variables" rather than "keywords". To make a new reserved variable of this sort, there are three steps. 1) Someone must identify a common in NONMEM that contains the values of interest. The other responders seem to think that CM12 is the one for the correlation matrix of the estimate. Whatever, someone must use verbatim or user-written code to be sure that the commons have the values under the appropriate circumstances. 2) Let me or ICON know about this, with an example of the code that you use to display them. 3) NMTRAN could then be revised to make a reserved variable in the same family as SETHET et. al, and to allow it to be used in WRITE/PRINT statements in a similar manner. An easier and faster approach is to use nmsee to mark the values of interest in the NONMEM output report, and then use grep or findstr to extract them. Nmsee can supply the following -- prefixes (appearing in nmsee output with the prefix option): ti, tu, tl theta initial, upper bound, and lower bound oi, si omega and sigma initial tj, oj, sj theta, omega, sigma from init estimates step gi, gf gradients initial and final pf scaled transformed parameters final mm minimum value of objective function tf, of, sf theta, omega, and sigma final te, oe, se theta, omega, and sigma std errors cx, cr, cv covar, correl, and inv covar matrices of est cy T matrix xx text lines I have been planning to change it to mark the following: xx ETABAR: -0.13E-02 -0.45E-02 -0.25E-01 xx SE: 0.29E-01 0.27E-01 0.21E-01 xx P VAL.: 0.96E+00 0.87E+00 0.24E+00 It is much easier and faster to change nmsee than to change NMTRAN! Steps 1 and 2 are up to the user community. Step 3 is something that could be implemented in a future release of NONMEM.
