RE: negative iteration numbers in .ext files
Andreas, you are not alone. We all have negative iterations. They are
just flags for the final parameter estimates (-1000000000) and their
standard errors (-1000000001) that can be used as parsing tags for other
programs.
I could not quickly find where this is documented.

Subject: [NMusers] negative iteration numbers in .ext files
Does anyone else have the 'feature' of negative iteration numbers in the
.ext file that nonmem writes?
Mostly the values are similar or identical to the preceding lines but
not
always (see example below).
I am using nonmem 7.1.2 with gfortran 4.5.0, installed with nmqual 7.1.0
on Windows XP.
Thanks for any clues.
Andreas
