Hi NMusers,
I believe below is a very common question, but I could not find a clear answer in literature. Sometimes, we want to find out which algorithm offers the better model fitting for a given dataset. Is it possible to use the objective function value (OFV) to compare the model fitting computed by various algorithms (e.g. FOCE, IMP, and SAEM) ? Put it into another way, the same input dataset with the same fitted model/estimates will lead to similar OFVs among FOCE, IMP, and SAEM? Thanks, Mark <https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenda-roseberry-1608166/?msgConversationId=6641167769234657280&msgOverlay=true>
