Dear NONMEM team:
To run the M3 method to handle BQL samples, we have to use method=LAPLACIAN
NUMERICAL SLOW in NM6. Can we use the new methods in NM7 such as IMP, SAEM
or BAYES if we have to run the M3 method?
Best regards,

Hi,
Thanks to Peiming Ma and Thuy Vu for pointing out an error in my attempt to
transform bioavailability into its logit.
The logit transformation of a probability is ln(P/(1-P)) i.e. the log of the
odds ratio. The reverse transform is correct i.e. exp(logit) is the odds
ratio and P is then OR/(1+OR) (or 1/1+exp(-logit)).
If THETA(1) is the bioavailability then this is (I hope) the correct
transformation of THETA(1) and reverse transform to get the individual
bioavailability with a random effect constrained to be within 0 and 1.
MU_1=LOG(THETA(1)/(1-THETA(1)) ; logit of population bioavailability
EXPP=MU_1+ETA(1) ; add random effect
BIO=1/(1+EXP(-EXP(EXPP))) ; individual bioavailability
Nick
