M3 method and multiple LOQ values
All,
I am implementing the M3 method using NONMEM7.2. My error structure is
proportional. I have two questions regarding the control stream shown below.
1. Is the control stream correct for a proportional error model?
2. Each DV has its own LOQ so I cannot give one LOQ value. I was
planning to assign a column in my data frame which defines LOQ for each DV.
Is this an appropriate approach?
Any input/advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
