Question about mixture model of Ka

From: Claire Xu Date: July 23, 2012 technical Source: cognigen.com
Hi Dear nmusers, I am trying to develop a pop PK model. In my data, there are two subpopulations, one subpopulation with Ka of about 9 and the other one with Ka of about 1. The percentage of population with higher Ka is about 15%. I assumed that it would be reasonable to utilize mixture model of Ka. But I cannot get the mixture model of Ka successfully run under NONMEM, because the percentage of the subpopulation can't be estimated. Can anyone help check my NONMEM code? Is there anything special that I should do for the input data profile? .I will very appreciateit it for your generous help. Thanks a lot!
