CWRES/WRES comparisons can also indicate if the FOCE estimation method will improve the results of an FO model fit to data.
In contrast, in certain circumstances, the WRES have distributions that greatly deviate from the expected, falsely indicating model misspecification. Using real and simulated data the CWRES distributions behave as theoretically expected under the correct model. Started in the early 1980s with the development of the NONMEM (acronym based on NON-linear Mixed-Effects Modeling) software, 1 population analysis has proven to be extremely useful within pharmacometrics, both in the development of new drugs 2 and the improvement of therapy with approved drugs. We present a new diagnostic tool, the conditional weighted residuals (CWRES), which are calculated based on the FOCE approximation.ĬWRES are calculated as the FOCE approximated difference between an individual's data and the model prediction of that data divided by the root of the covariance of the data given the model. Utilizing WRES with the FOCE method may lead to misguided model development/evaluation. + + V i V Cl i Cl i i V Cl ln ln + + + + V i V Cl i Cl i i i i V Cl BW age ln ln 1 2 2 2 Cl V V Cl V.
NONMEM METHOD 1 VS CONDITIONAL FULL
This method may allow a considerable time savings over the full FOCE when not all s require full conditional estimation. However, the weighted residuals (WRES), a common diagnostic tool used to test for model misspecification, are calculated using the FO approximation. designated by the user to be estimated using the FO method.
Population model analyses have shifted from using the first order (FO) to the first-order with conditional estimation (FOCE) approximation to the true model.
