We will try tomorrow and will keep you informed.

I have used the Theophylline example that comes with the NM installation - CONTROL5 model. Step 1 - You execute that model with only one minor change - addition of MSFO at the EST step (which generates and stores the information in the MSFI file you will need during simulation - step2) $EST MAXEVAL=450 PRINT=5 MSFO=MSFICONTROL5 Step 2- The simulation control stream is very similar to the control stream used for estimation. It has two $PROB sections and few extra statements, I have italicized the extra statements needed in the simulation step. PS. Use the exact same initial estimates as you had in the estimation control stream in Step 1 (just leave them as they were in the original control stream). If you change the initial estimates, the simulation step will not work. $PROB THEOPHYLLINE POPULATION DATA $INPUT ID DOSE=AMT TIME CP=DV WT $DATA THEOPP $PRIOR TNPRI (PROBLEM 2) PLEV=.999 IVAR=1 $SUBROUTINES ADVAN2 $MSFI MSFICONTROL5 ONLYREAD ;; uses the msfi file generated during model fitting $PK CALLFL=1 KA=THETA(1)+ETA(1) K=THETA(2)+ETA(2) CL=THETA(3)*WT+ETA(3) SC=CL/K/WT ISIM =IREP $ERROR Y=F+EPS(1) $PROBLEM Sim part $INPUT ID DOSE=AMT TIME CP=DV WT $DATA THEOPP REWIND $THETA (.1,3,5) (.008,.08,.5) (.004,.04,.9) $OMEGA BLOCK(3) 6 .005 .0002 .3 .006 .4 $SIGMA .4 $SIM (12345) ONLY NSUB=5 TRUE=PRIOR ;$EST MAXEVAL=450 PRINT=5 MSFO=MSFICONTROL5 ;; commented out in step 2 ;$COV ;; commented out in step 2 $TABLE ISIM ID DOSE WT TIME FILE=sdtab5_uncertainty As far as I can remember, control streams from Step 1 and 2 need to be run within same NM version. You cannot fit a model in version 7.1 and then simulate using ver 7.2 or 7.3 to use the $TNPRI option. Good luck! -- Navin Goyal On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 9:38 AM, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dear all, I would like to perform a simulation (based on a finished model), incorporating parameter uncertainty (for all theta’s, eta’s and epsilons) with the $PRIOR TNPRI option in Nonmem V7.3, using the results of the covariance step as an input. I am still struggling how to implement this. Does anybody have an example control stream I could look at?
