Subject: Re: [NMusers] Log Transformed AST

Hi Ranita,

Duy is correct.  NONMEM is based on FORTRAN, so usually the mathematical 
functions and operators are borrowed from FORTRAN: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/LOG.html

Thanks,

Bill

If you desire to log transform by base 10 instead of e, use LOG10 in NONMEM 
instead of LOG

Dear all,

I am a PhD student working on NONMEM as a new user. I am working on external 
evaluation of some of the selected published population PK models. While trying 
to implement one of the models in NONMEM, I realised that if I code 
log-transformed aspartate aminotransferase (LAST) as LAST = LOG(AST), the sdtab 
 output is giving me the In(AST) value instead of a LOG(AST) value. Was 
wondering if NONMEM interprets all Log (x) as Log e (x) instead of Log 10 (x)?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
