Correlation Test in NONMEM

From: Jian Xu Date: August 16, 2007 technical
Dear NM users, During a pop PK model development, I found two parameters (based delta plots) are highly correlated (positive correlation), therefore, I tried to add Covariance between them in order to account for this correlation. However, after this run, it turns out to be a negative correlation. Anybody had this experience before? Could it be due to the model misspecification? Or dataset does not support the IIV on these two parameters? Any input is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
