Re: distribution assumption of Eta in NONMEM
Dear Jakob and all,
In this thread, Mats clearly indicated Eta is assumed normal distributed.
But, others have said differently.
I wonder which statement is correct?

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
