RE: Generating Cmax at end of infusion
Hi,
As others have suggested making an additional record at the known desired time
is probably the most straightforward manner to get what you want. So this
should probably be a preferred solution.
If you for some reason you cant to add a record (maybe you dont know the time
beforehand), I think you can achieve what you want using MTIME(). This has the
added advantage of working without going the $DES route and the associated
slower run-times. I'll see if I can get something like that to work tomorrow,
just as an excercise.
Can the experts give an opinion as to whether MTIME() should work or not?

Subject: [NMusers] Generating Cmax at end of infusion
G'day.
I would like to generate a concentration at the end of an infusion of duration
DUR.
I am using ADVAN3 TRANS4 with log transformed data. Here is what I have
tried, but I am getting an error that the parameter 'T' that I understood to be
the machine time is undefined. Can anyone suggest a proper way to give set
Cmax=exp(Y) at the end of the infusion of length DUR?
Many thanks in advance.
Paul

IPRE=F
EDV=EXP(DV)
W=1
IF(F.GT.0) W=F
IRES=F-EDV
IWRE=IRES/W
LOGF=LOG(0.0001)
IF (F.GT.0) LOGF=LOG(F)
Y=LOGF+EPS(1)
;GENERATE CMAX AT END OF INFUSION (DUR)
