RE: automating the writing of models

Carlos I'm not sure what you want to do. DruDevo (www.drudevo.com, don't know if they are still around) has a web site that seems to imply they do some of this: Ø Automated structural model search Automated statistical model search Automated multi level covariate search Ø Automated multi level backwards deletion . Automated multi level covariate search But, I really don't know anything about it. I think that Ken Kawalski's Wald test covariate search approach does some automated control file writing as well, limited (I think) to covariate relationships. Of course, I have to mention my own, which isn't generally available (www.nextlevelsolns.com) but does automate writing control files and searching for the optimal solution.

PDx-Pop provides a graphical user interface to NONMEM that includes creating and running control files (singly or in batch mode), automated diagnostic plots for the runs, and automated model evaluation methods. The Control File Wizards create control files graphically by selecting options you want to include in your model, number of compartments, method of drug administration, parameterization (CL/V vs micro-, macro-constant), etc. You enter parameter values in tables on the screen and can specify estimation methods and table options. I will send you screen shots off-line to give you a better idea. (nmusers has a limit on the size of an email you can send). There are two wizards: one for the standard models (advans 1-4, 10-12) and another for user-written models (advans 5-9). for more information see: > > http://www.icondevsolutions.com/pdxpop.htm > > William J.
