Dear NMusers,

I have a question I would like your help.  The data I have is only the dynamic 
data since we didn't give dose to the animal. I am trying to capture the nature 
of disease progression. And the PD  decrease with time. I have seen people 
model only the PD data use $PRED subroutine but they use the explicit 
equation.But I want to use a differential equation like      dA/dt= 
kin(1-dis)-kout*A  while A0=kin/kout. 

When I ran the control stream, the gradient for most of the parameters are 0. 
And the only parameter estimation I got is the sigma. The output of Y is 0. I 
guess it's because I don't have dose to compartment(PDK) but I don't know how 
should I fix the problem. 
Any suggestion is appreciated!

The control stream I wrote is:

$PROB Demo for turn over PD model
$INPUT ID TIME AMT PDK=DV EVID
$DATA demo.csv IGNORE=#

$ESTIM MAXEVAL=3000 NOABORT PRINT=1
METHOD=COND INTERACTION SIG=5 MSFO=save.msf

$COV MATRIX=S SLOW

$SUBROUTINE ADVAN6 TOL=5

$MODEL
COMP=(PDK)

$PK
KIN=THETA(1)*EXP(ETA(1))
KOUT=THETA(2)
DIS=THETA(3)*EXP(ETA(2))

$DES
DADT(1)=KIN*(1-DIS)-KOUT*A(1)

$ERROR
Y = F + ERR(1)

; Fixed effects
$THETA 174 FIX  ; KIN
$THETA  77 FIX  ; KOUT
$THETA (0,0.28,1) ; AGE_EFFECT_PDK

; Random effects
$OMEGA 0 FIX; BSVKIN_PDK
$OMEGA 0 FIX; BSVDIS_PDK


$SIGMA 0.1


$TABLE ID TIME PDK Y
NOPRINT ONEHEADER FILE=DEMO.fit



And my data looks like:
#ID    TIME    AMT    PDK    EVID
101    4             .        1.49    0
102    4             .        1.58    0
61    8               .        0.57    0
62    8               .        2.03    0
63    8               .       1.58    0
64    8               .       1.52    0
109    12            .       0.71    0
110    12            .       1.18    0
21    12              .       1.25    0
