RE: Question about handling BLOQ data with mixture model
Dear Yaping,
I can see that you need to make any particular consideration because you
are applying a mixture model. CUMD is dependent on IPRED that in its turn is
dependent on the assigned mixture. That should be enough.
However, I spot what must be an error in your way of defining your mixture
probabilities. As it is now you total probability does not sum up to 1. Why
don't you parameterize it his way:
$MIX
NSPOP=3
P(1) = THETA(8)/100
P(2) = (1-THETA(8)/100)*THETA(9)/100
P(3) = 1-THETA(8)/100 -THETA(9)/100
$THETA (0, 3.78, 100) ; PMIX1
$THETA (80, 91, 100) ; PMIX2/(1-PMIX1)
I have kept the division of THETAs by 100 since I assume that you want
estimates in %. However the division with 1000 did not make any sense to me
despite the correctly assigned THETA boundaries?
Finally a word of caution, be careful with the use of NONMEM reserved
variables such as T (integrated time in $DES) and F (default model
prediction with some ADVANS). In my experience things can go wrong when you
use them outside the way it was intended, conflicts can occur.

Subject: [NMusers] Question about handling BLOQ data with mixture model
Hello NMUsers,
I am trying to analyze BLOQ data using the M3 method (Stuart Beal, Ways to
Fit a PK Model with Some Data Below the Quantification Limit, 2001). The
model I have is a mixture model to describe PD response of three
subpopulations. The complete control stream is pasted below.
I have implemented just the mixture model (no BLOQ) and just the BLOQ error
model (no mixture) and it works fine with nonmem 6. But the run crashed
immediately using nonmem 6 if including both BLOQ and the mixture model.
I am wondering if I need to account for the mixture in the section of the
code below when putting a mixture model together with the BLOQ error model
IF (BLOQ.EQ.1) THEN
F_FLAG=1
Y =CUMD + something based on MIXNUM?
ENDIF
Any ideas are gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Yaping
