: [NMusers] VPC with Mixture Model Hi, I realized after I sent the comment below about mixture model **simulations** that Mats was no doubt referring to the problem of separating the two sub-populations in the **observed** data using MIXEST. This will of course be problematic for generating

Dear all, I have a Mixture Model with 2 subpopulation. Now I want to check its prediction. One way to see this is a Visual Predictive Check. My question is, How to perform visual predictive check with mixture model? I will be thankful for your suggestion and references. Best regards

: [NMusers] VPC with Mixture Model Mats, A VPC relies on simulation alone - there is no estimation step. Presumably if the population estimate of the % of poor metabolizers is 5% then NONMEM will simulate 5% of the population as a poor metaboliser. There is no Bayesian 'posthoc' step hidden
