vpc under PsN
Dear all,
I am new to vpc and have a basic technical question regarding the vpc under
PsN to ask.
Currently I am doing a vpc to validate a model, whose data was constructed
in such a way that the dependent variable is log-transformed and labeled
LNDV. The original model was built with data from both healthy subject as
well as patients, while the vpc separated them. In the first step a plot
was produced for the healthy subjects in which I found several outlier
observations. This caused the 97.5% quantile of the observations to have an
abnormal profile. So I tried to locate the variable, and run a separate vpc
to check the influence of them.
I looked up both observations in the vpctab file produced by PsN, and tried
to look for the points in the model dataset. However to my surprise I did
not find the observation in the dataset, whether the exact number (DV) or
the ID. According to the vpc manual the ID is copied exactly from the
dataset file, but the ID was also not found.
Could you please help me out of this, as how to locate the points? Thanks a
million for your kind help. I am attaching the command I am using in the
vpc for your information:
vpc final.nmctl -predcorr -lnDV=1 -dv=LNDV -bin_by_count=0
-bin_array=0.375,0.75,1.5,2.5,4,6,8.5,12,17.5,24.5,35,49,63,77,91
-stratify_on=STRT -clean=3 -seed=19860322 -samples=200 -run_on_sge
-sge_queue=all.q -parafile=template.pnm -nodes=30 -sge_prepend="-pe mpich
30"
Best Regards
