mixture model coding
Dear All,
I am trying to model a tumor size data at different time points using
NONMEM. There is high variability in baseline tumor size and their might
be sub-populations in the dataset with different distribution for size
progression. For example, in many cases the baseline tumor size is around
100- 200 units, and there are few patients with baseline size around 500 -
700 units. Due to this high variability I want to try a mixture model -
can anybody suggest on how to do it ? I have listed the initial code that
I used.
$PROB run# 101
$DATA V2.csv IGNORE C
$INPUT C ID TIME TYPE DV(SIZE) MDV GENDER AGE
$PRED
BASE= THETA(1)*EXP(ETA(1)) ;baseline tumor size
PR= THETA(2)*EXP(ETA(2)) ;linear tumor progression
TR=THETA(3)*EXP(ETA(3)) ;treatment effect
EFF1 = BASE*EXP(-TR*TIME)
EFF2 = PR*TIME
IPRED= EFF1+EFF2
Y=IPRED + ERR(1)
$THETA
(0,100) ; baseline
(0.001,0.5 ) ; progression
(0.01, 0.06, 1) ; treatment
$OMEGA
0.5 ; ETA-Baseline
0.2 ; ETA-PR
0.2 ; ETA-treatment
$SIGMA
20 ; ERR-add

Thanks,
