RE: distribution assumption of Eta in NONMEM

Dear all, Dropping in a little late in the game all I can say is this: Shame on all you great minds for reinventing your own wisdom :>) Most of the content in the current thread has already been discussed in an earlier thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01271.html However, this old thread does contain a lot of postings and quite a few which are VERY confusing, so you may want to skip ahead to Matt's posting here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01302.html (There are also many other postings which are very useful, but the one above captures the essence with regards to the original question in the current thread) That said I think there are always new learnings in each thread, as people tend to express themselves differently and the original question branch into several new discussion points. So I guess there are never two threads that are exactly alike, even when the usual suspects participate in both. Cheers Jakob
