Hi,
I'm not sure what data you're analysing and what your dosage schedules and sampling are but if ADDL is the same for each patient you could create a new variable (TVPC) and simply deduct that additional dosing history from your cumulative time from when you restarted the system (EVID=3 or 4). You code it simply as: TVPC=TIME- sum of all ADDLs So if you have 3 additional doses, each at a 24h interval it would look like: TVPC=TIME-72 Then you can plot your VPC with TVPC as idv.

My issue is primarily with some diagnostic analysis, but this is taking me back to an old NONMEM problem. My aim is to run a VPC on a model I implemented, and if possible change the idv to TAD instead of TIME. The reason for that is the VPC graph based on TIME looks dreadful as the data is sparse and from different studies of different lengths. I'm having issues generating the TAD output column from my NONMEM run. I naively assumed I could easily do that, but looking at the NONMEM archives it seems this gets tricky when your dosing events are written using ADDL. Has anyone ever managed to find a solution for this? And if not, is there an alternative way to run the VCP on TAD, do we really need to get this column from NONMEM's output?
