what is behind $Simulation

From: "Zhang, Xiaoping {PDC5~Nutley}" Subject: [NMusers] what is behind $Simulation Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 12:58:36 -0400 Dear NONMEM users: Can someone tell me how NONMEM finds the random numbers for two variables for $SIMULATION? For example in following control stream, standard deviation for both V and CL are considered by NONMEM for simulation. $THETA 1.5 ;CL $THETA 5.4 ;V $OMEGA .0961 2.3 $SIGMA (0 FIXED) $SIMULATION (1275 NEW) ONLYSIMULATION One can also fix one ETA and only simulate another one. How NONMEM works for two variable ETAs? Your though is gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
