Personally I don’t think it was the use of FOCEI that led to NONMEM taking off, it was that you could run it on personal computers, which were just starting to be powerful enough to handle to computational load. This was back when computers had numbers for names, like 386 and 486. I think this started with NONMEM IV.
There was a history of NONMEM webpage that Icon maintained, but when I checked today, it no longer looks like it is functional. https://nonmem.iconplc.com/nonmem_history/NONMEM_history4.pdf Pete Bonate Peter Bonate, PhD Suzerain, New Technologies Early Development Astellas 2375 Waterview Drive Northbrook, IL 60062 peter.bon...@astellas.com<mailto:peter.bon...@astellas.com> (224) 619-4901 From: owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com <owner-nmus...@globomaxnm.com> On Behalf Of Eleveld, DJ Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2024 5:39 AM To: nmusers <nmusers@globomaxnm.com> Subject: [NMusers] Historical question Hi All, I am writing a paper on some C language code I have written that does FOCE.

Hi All, I am writing a paper on some C language code I have written that does FOCE. I want to write a few sentences about the history of NONMEM but I’m not 100% sure it is correct. Can someone knowledgeable give me some feedback on this? “NONMEM software was developed at USCF in the late 1970s and became the de-facto industry standard when the first-order-conditional estimation with interaction (FOCE-I) method reaching wide use in the field. NONMEM was open source until version 5 when the rights were obtained by Icon PLC and it became encrypted-source. The investment of Icon PLC has resulted in considerable NONMEM development with many bug-fixes and new features available in current version 7.5.1. ” Warm regards, Douglas Eleveld ________________________________ De inhoud van dit bericht is vertrouwelijk en alleen bestemd voor de geadresseerde(n).
