Dear nmusers,

I have trouble figuring out the cause of the error I am encountering:

0INDIVIDUAL NO.       1   ID= 2.00000000000000E+00   (WITHIN-INDIVIDUAL) DATA 
REC NO.   2
...
OCCURS DURING SEARCH FOR ETA AT INITIAL VALUE, ETA=0
F OR DERIVATIVE RETURNED BY PRED IS INFINITE (INF) OR NOT A NUMBER (NAN).

To my own experience, this error is usually due to some mistakes in the coding, 
such as the div/0 error occurring at the dosing record. However, for this time, 
after I eliminated a few other possible causes, it appears that the error will 
occur whenever I remove the occasional variability from the model (by fixing 
variability to ZERO), and this makes no sense to me.

I have attached a minimal reproducible example at the bottom. Any help is 
appreciated and thank you for your attention.

Best Regards,
Matthew
