Hi Paolo and Rob,

I’ve been experiencing similarly large CWRES (no “I”) values with NM7.4.1 for 
models which produced reasonable values when run unchanged in NM7.3. Other 
colleagues also saw this behavior.
I believe we typically see it with bigger/more complex models (can’t recall a 
case where we had the problem with an analytical ADVAN).

Since computation of CWRES is parallelized since 7.4.1, so I guess something 
about the implementation may have been changed to enable this.
I haven’t tried it myself, but if the “old” code is still used when the 
computation is not parallelized, one could speculate that disabling parallel 
evaluation of the residuals might help.
The one thing I tried that did not help was using WRESCHOL.

Kind Regards,
Sven

Betreff: [NMusers] Extreme values of CWRESI in NONMEM 7.4.1?

Paolo:
I reviewed my NONMEM 7.4 testing results on CWRESI, and they provide the same 
values in NONMEM 7.3 as well as NONMEM 7.4.  In case you ran the problem in 
parallel, because NONMEM 7.4 now executes the diagnostic evaluation in parallel 
as well, I tested under parallel execution conditions, and the CWRESI values 
are also the same between NONMEM 7.4 (parallel) and NONMEM 7.3.  Incidentally, 
as a diagnostic that is expected to be normally distributed when the model is 
correct, CWRES is preferred even when INTERACTION is used in the $EST step.

I would be happy to run your problem and see if I can detect something more 
subtle that is involved in your case.
