Re: [NMusers] OFV from different algorithms

ADVANs in my experience have little effect on OF (except convergence: ADVAN13 may work in cases when ADVAN6 fails). So method is FOCEI, IMP, IMPMAP etc. In general, with rare exceptions that could be discussed separately, you would expect the same OF for FOCEI fit with ADVAN6, 8, 9, 13, 14,

Hi Leonid, Thanks for the tips. When you talk about Methods, are you referring to different ADVANs? e.g. FOCEI ADVAN6 vs. IMP ADVAN6. Mark On Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 5:52 PM Leonid Gibiansky wrote: > > Within one method, FOCEI or IMP models can be compared by OF, but not > between methods.

It seems there have been two different questions posed on the same subject line. I will deal with each one separately. 1) The original question from Mark Tepeck has been answered by Leonid Gibiansky, that generally when covariate model comparisons are performed, the OFV from the same

Within one method, FOCEI or IMP models can be compared by OF, but not between methods. FOCEI and IMP OF are similar by the order of magnitude, but should not be used for comparison between methods. SAEM OF should not be used for model comparison at all. Among two models that differ by SAEM

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
