#NONMEM $PRED WINDOWS#
Results: Representative output from NM_SAS post-processing including diagnostic plots, run log summaries, Q-Q plots for CWRES, histograms of ETA distributions, co-plots (matrix layout) and observation density within sampling windows will be shown. Development and testing has been conducted on a Windows XP environment, but this solution is easily ported to LINUX-based machines and server environments.
#NONMEM $PRED PDF#
Diagnostic plots can be output as JPG, EMF or PDF files.
The script can be changed by advanced SAS users as they deem fit. Templates can be created so two or three plots can be placed in rows or columns. With the new ODS graphics features in SAS 9.2 panel plots, matrix plots etc are easily generated. A Runlog is created using the RUNLOG.for file (Metrum Institute). The control stream is saved in the main folder and copied into the specific RUN folder by SAS. The runs are managed within user-defined folder structure. Upon successful NONMEM execution, all relevant tab files are created in this directory.ĬWRES calculation in NONMEM 6 is accomplished by calling R within SAS the COMP.R script (Xpose) calculates the CWRES tab file assuming the NONMEM 6 control stream contains the necessary arrays (HH, GG etc) to output the CWTAB.est or derive file (not required in NONMEM 7). The PIPE command writes the output from the command prompt into the SAS log to aid debugging NONMEM. The PIPE command and FILENAME is used in SAS to run NONMEM. The script changes the directory as specified using the X command. Users must define environment variables including the path of the NONMEM executable. The NM_SAS script runs NONMEM and performs the user-specified post-processing (compatible with NONMEM 5, 6 or 7). Templates for fixed format input files are created to import data into the SAS script. Methods: SAS scripts create NONMEM ready datasets for single and multiple analytes, and various input regimens. We have created a SAS-based environment to assemble NONMEM datasets from template input files, perform data checking, manage NONMEM runs, summarize run output within and across projects, and provide flexible post-processing including the management of scripts written in other 4th generation languages and compilers (R, FORTRAN, etc) Although SAS offers an excellent platform for these tasks, it has often been excluded from such analyses because the user community is not as invested with SAS, cost, and previously inferior graphics to other algorithms. All documentation is of course included in the package itself too.Objectives: While the NONMEM algorithm remains the centerpiece of population analysis workflow, data assembly, pre and post processing are functions typically handled outside of NONMEM. The best place to browse information about the package is here. However, many features of the package relates to the final organization and writing of data for Nonmem, and reading data from Nonmem after a model run.
#NONMEM $PRED SOFTWARE#
The data set creation tools in NMdata may be equally interesting to users of nlmixr or other proprietary software than Nonmem. Instead, NMdata tries to fit in with how you (or your colleague who worked on the project before you) do things. Any functionality in the package can be used independently of the rest of the package, and NMdata is not intended to force you to change any habits or preferences. The aim is to automate the book keeping and allow more time for the actual analysis.Ī central design feature of NMdata is that all included tools require as little as possible about how the user works. NMdata provides useful tools (including automated checks) for these trivial tasks. However, the leg work in pharmacometrics remains technical, and this is a typical bottleneck for a pharmacometrician to contributing even more.Ĭreating data sets - and if you use Nonmem, reading the results data - can be tedious, and mistakes can lead to hours of frustration.
Pharmacometrics and PK/PD modeling offers unique information for decision-making in several steps of drug development. A fast R package for efficient data preparation, consistency-checking and post-processing in PK/PD modeling
