Fanny,
It is a common misconception (for many decades) that CMT has to be used
to identify the prediction. CMT is best used to identify the compartment
you want to put the AMT into. In some simple cases it can be used to
identify the prediction.
The more general solution is to add a data item to your data file which
indicates the type of prediction you want to return. I use the name DVID
for this data item.
e.g.
ID TIME DVID DV
1 0 0 . ; dose record
1 10 1 10 ; single compartment amount
1 10 2 100 ; sum of several compartments
$INPUT ID TIME DVID DV
$ERROR
IF (DVID.LE.1) THEN
Y=A(2)+EPS(1)
ENDIF
IF (DVID.EQ.2) THEN
Y=A(6)+A(7)+A(8) + EPS(2)
ENDIF
Best wishes
Nick

Dear NMusers,
I'm having trouble writing the code for my model. I have IV and IP
administrations data, that I would like to model simultaneously. We
found out that IP was best modeled by a first order absorption, using
an input compartment (DADT(1)=-KA*A(1)). At first, we used a CMT
column in the dataset to indicate for each dosing event if it is IV or
IP. But then, as we made the model more complicated, we realized that
we couldn't use a CMT column. We study the parent compound, as well as
its metabolite at the same time but the problem is we cannot put a
compartment number for the metabolite's observations. This is because,
given the model structure, the prediction for the metabolite
concentrations is a sum of 3 concentrations in 3 different
compartments (e.g. IPRED=A(6)+A(7)+A(8)). So we think that putting a
compartment number for the observation would be confusing for NONMEM.
What do you think? Do you see how we could model IV and IP
simultaneously, without using the CMT column ? or any other solution?
Thank you for your help
