Re: Missing time data
Huali,
This sounds like an ideal data set to determine if there are any effects of genotype on CL/F. You dont really need NONMEM - just look at the doserate/conc (i.e. CL/F) means for each genotype and do an ANOVA. Of course you can make it fancier and include other covariates such as weight, sex (a genotype), race etc. It can be done with NONMEM or almost any statistics package that supports multiple regression.

I have a dataset from multiple dose study. Drug was administered orally and only one sample was taken from each patient at steady state. Parent drug and three metabolites concentrations were measured. Each patient was genotyped. Time since last dose was not recorded because the maximum concentration and trough concentration varied only 3%. Could NONMEM be used for this analysis? Any comment will be highly appreciated.
