Lognormal survival in NONMEM?
Dear all,
Playing with repeated time to event models, I run into the issue that simple
diagnostics for a single time to event outcome suggest that constant hazard and
Weibull models are not very appropriate. The lognormal model seems to provide a
very nice fit; compared to a constant hazard, the hazard is suggested to be
higher in the beginning and then significantly lower at later times.
I have not seen any implementations online: does anyone know if the lognormal
survival function can be implemented in NONMEM, and/or can anyone suggest
alternative approaches? Some time-varying function to modify the hazard?
Any and all suggestions appreciated!
Kind regards,
Rik
