computational issues preventing COV

dear NONMEM community, The following MESSAGE: MINIMIZATION SUCCESSFUL HOWEVER, PROBLEMS OCCURRED WITH THE MINIMIZATION. REGARD THE RESULTS OF THE ESTIMATION STEP CAREFULLY, AND ACCEPT THEM ONLY AFTER CHECKING THAT THE COVARIANCE STEP PRODUCES REASONABLE OUTPUT. ...has already been discussed in 2008, and seems to be a computational issue preventing successful COV (Prof. Nick Holford). I encounter the same problem with an i.v. Gemcitabine model. COV is successful with GEM and its metabolite dFdU. However, if I add intracellular triphosphates (dFdCTP), minimisation is just fine, but no COV. This has persisted after attempts to simplify model or computation (e.g. fixing ETAs, using just one EPS, introducing simulated PK-curves (based on PK-estimates) back into the model). Mass-transport to triphosphate-CMPT is intentionally fixed very low (low concentrations), and volume-of-distribution of intracellular triphosphates scaled to V1.
