Dear Users:
I note the Jan 26, 2013 response to Nick Holford's query about results
from the use of the $MIX mixture model for simulation. I have created a
data set of N=100 subjects using R to randomly distribute their
covariates, both continuous and categorical. I then ran the following
sim with SUBPOP=1 to generate their corresponding DV values using the
following code:
; SIMULATION CTL
$PROBLEM SIM 2COMP
$INPUT ID TIME AMT DV WT HT BMI BSA GFR AGE SEX TOB EVID
$DATA MethodSim1.CSV IGNORE=#
$SUBROUTINES ADVAN4 TRANS4

P(2)=1.0-THETA(7)

CL1=THETA(2)*((WT/70)**0.75) ; non-renal clearance of subpop1
CL2=THETA(3)*((WT/70)**0.75); non-renal clearance of subpop1
CLr=(GFR*60/1000)*0.5 ; renal clearance
Z=1
IF(MIXNUM.EQ.2) Z=0
CL=(Z*(CL1 + CLr) + (1.0-Z)*(CL2 + CLr))* EXP(ETA(2))
V2 = THETA(4)*(WT/70)*EXP(ETA(3))
Q = THETA(5)*(WT/70)**0.75
V3 =THETA(6)*(WT/70)
S2=V2
$ERROR

However, when I come back and attempt to model the simulated data set,
my ETA1 on CL (note difference from the simulation ctl above) still
shows a bimodal distribution. With the incorporation of the $MIXture
model , I would expect a unimodal distribution of ETA_CL entered on 0.
Can the community please advise?
