RE: [NMusers] Negative concentration from simulation

2020-06-02 Thread Bill Denney
Hi Nyein, Negative concentrations can be expected from simulations if the model includes additive residual error. I assume that you mean additive and proportional error when you say "combined error model". If the error structure does not include additive error, then we'd need to know more. How

[NMusers] Negative concentration from simulation

2020-06-02 Thread Nyein Hsu Maung
Dear NONMEM users, I tried to simulate a new dataset by using a previously published pop pk model. Their model was described by combined error model for residual variability. And after simulation, I have obtained two negative concentrations. I would like to know if there is any proper way to

you can treat it as any other value below quantification limit, and either comment it out (if you do this with other BQLs) or use it (same as other BQLs) Leonid On 6/2/2020 2:13 PM, Nyein Hsu Maung wrote: Dear NONMEM users, I tried to simulate a new dataset by using a previously published

Hi Nyein, Like Bill and Leonid explained, you can decide what to do with the negative values after the simulation, depending on the goals of the analysis. Alternatively, within Nonmem model file, you can use ICALL.EQ.4 (simulation event) to prevent non-negative values being simulated IF

Hi Nyein, I agree with Nick that it may be valid to simulate negative concentrations and that the only reason that we don't observe negative concentrations is because assay labs censor these values. However, for these negative concentrations to be reasonable and attributed to assay variation,

Hi Nyein, For drug concentrations the additive error model assumes that the background noise is random with mean zero when the drug concentration is truly zero. In the real world there is always background noise for measurements which means that real measurements can appear to be a negative

Hi Nick, The question was not how to report measurements, but how to deal with the simulation from the model, that was likely developed on the data set where BQLs were either ignored or treated as BQLs (e.g., set to 0, set to BQL/2, treated with M3: in the best case, the exact method can be
