Re: multiple problems in a control file

Pierre-Olivier, If you want to fit each subject in a file as a single subject then you can use something like the following pair of control streams. The method relies on the use of INCLUDE to create a multiple problem control stream. Note that the second and subsequent problems cannot have $PK or $ERROR records. The second and subsequent problems are automatically included in the primary control stream with the INCLUDE statement. The number of times this is done is determined by the number on the INCLUDE line. Typically this will be the number of subjects in the data file minus one. Nick ========= Run1 - run this primary control stream ========== $PROB Single sub $INPUT ID AMT TIME DV MDV $DATA data10.csv RECS=ID NOREWIND ; 10 subjects $EST METHOD=ZERO MAXEVAL=9999 SIG=3 NOABORT $COV $THETA (0,0.5,);K (0,3000,);V (0, 1.3);KA $OMEGA 0.1 ; eps $SUBR ADVAN2 TRANS1 $PK K=THETA(1) V=THETA(2) KA=THETA(3) S2=V $ERROR Y = F + F*ERR(1) INCLUDE run2.ctl 9 ; Replace number with N subjects minus 1 ====== The following is a secondary control stream with the name run2.ctl ====== The data file and this control stream must be located in the same directory ====== that NM-TRAN is running in or include a path from the NM-TRAN run directory to ====== the control stream in the primary control stream and to the data file in this ====== second control stream $PROB Single sub $INPUT ID AMT TIME DV MDV $DATA data10.csv RECS=ID NOREWIND 10 subjects $EST METHOD=ZERO MAXEVAL=9999 SIG=3 NOABORT $COV $THETA (0,0.5,);K (0,3000,);V (0, 1.3);KA $OMEGA 0.1 ; eps Tremblay, Pierre-Olivier wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to run multiple single-subject problems within a single control file but there is something I'm not doing right because when I include the $SUBROUTINE LIBRARY option, then NONMEM won't estimate the model parameters.
