Hi, 

When one uses a typical PK ADVAN and a classical optimization method 
(FO/FOCE/FOCEI), letting a model parameter (most notably CL) become negative or 
forcing it to be a negative value will cause NONMEM 7.3 to stop and error out 
of the optimization routine. 

This is also the case with IMP and BAYES methods.

However, for ITS or SAEM, the NONMEM report clearly shows that the optimization 
goes through many iteration without stopping. Why is that?

An error message appears at the bottom of the report outside of the termination 
section, which seem to indicate that optimization completed... this is also odd

Thanks for your feedback
