Re: a potential bug

Pavel, It is hard to tell what is going one without seeing the data file. The first idea is that RATE is incorrectly computed (e.g., incorrect time units). The controls stream and the data files with 1 dose and few observed data points would allow to check it.

In addition, I had to inject a dummy (amt=1) dose into the 3^rd compartment, which describes the target. 2 studies were integrated. The time-concentration plots looked good for one study (IV injection or SC infusion) and meaningless/really bad for the other one (IV infusion; population-predicted values were a few-fold different from the observed ones). The data look correct. The rate, dose, and times look fine (rate=amt/infusion_duration; the first measure is taken after the end off infusion). When I set Rate=0 for the second study, the outcome looks perfect for both studies; the objective function decreased a lot. Because I do not feel comfortable using Rate=0, I tried to change the order of the dummy and real doses, set time of the real dose to 1 second, etc. Nothing works. It looks like a NONMEM bug. > > Thank you, > > Pavel
