M3 method and multiple LOQ values

From: Rebecca N. Burns Date: March 07, 2013 technical Source: mail-archive.com
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!
