Subject: [NMusers] systematic difference
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 16:53:21 -0500
Dear NMUSERS
I am using NONMEM to do population PK analysis. I am wondering how
to consider the systematic difference between two clinical sites.
Whether I can consider the systematic difference using the residual error model?
A combined error model is used. Whether I can code the systematic difference like this:
Y=F*EXP(EPS(1))+EPS(2)*SITE+EPS(3)*(1-SITE)
where site=1 or 0 which is stand for clinical site.
Thanks
