All,

I am implementing the M3 method using NONMEM7.2.  My error structure is 
proportional.  I have two questions regarding the control stream shown below.


1.       Is the control stream correct for a proportional error model?

2.       Each DV has its own LOQ so I cannot give one LOQ value.  I was 
planning  to assign a column in my data frame which defines LOQ for each DV.  
Is this an appropriate approach?

Any input/advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

$ERROR

SIG=THETA(4)
IPRED=F
LOQ=LLOQ
DUM=(LOQ-IPRED)
CUMD=PHI(DUM)

IF (BQL.EQ.0) THEN
F_FLAG=0
Y=IPRED*(1+SIG*ERR(1))
ENDIF

IF (BQL.EQ.1) THEN
F_FLAG=1
Y=CUMD
ENDIF

$EST METHOD=COND INTER LAPLACIAN
$SIGMA 1 FIX
