Re: OMEGA-Block
Dear Samer,
I parameterized the model by CL, Q , V1 and V2 and by CL,Q, V1 and Vss respectively. Correlation was not included at this time. The latter model lead to a lower OFV (~5), which is why I choosed to go on with this paramerization. Both models show correlation between the volumes V1 and V2 or V1 and VSS respectively in the scatter plot matrix of random effect, when no correlation is included into the model. So is it better to go with parameterization CL, Q, V1 and V2, even though I have correlation in both cases?
