Re: Missing time data

A number of emails seem to have been re-posted, which reminds me that I had meant to comment on this. With PREDPP, computation of steady state does not involve the value of the TIME data item. You say that "time since last dose" was not recorded. You can create a data set with pairs of events: the steady state dose event record, followed by the observation event record. Use the same value of TIME for both. The value of TIME on the records (e.g., 0) will not have any effect. PREDPP will estimate the PK parameters that affect the prediction such as CL, V, etc. depending on which ADVAN you use.
