 MEANING: CELS subroutine
 CONTEXT: NONMEM utility routine

 This feature is not fully documented.  The interested user may be able  L
 to  obtain  more  information  by studying the appropriate sections of  L
 NONMEM code and previous examples that may be available from  advanced  L
 users.                                                                  L

 DISCUSSION:                                                             L
 CELS is a NONMEM utility routine. It may be called by a  user-supplied  L
 CCONTR  routine.   It  computes the default contribution to the condi-  L
 tional objective function from a L2 record.                             L

 Certain NONMEM error messages refer to CELS, for example:               L

 PROGRAM TERMINATED BY OBJ, ERROR IN CELS                                L
 WITH INDIVIDUAL    1 (IN INDIVIDUAL RECORD ORDERING)                    L
 INTRAINDIVIDUAL VARIANCE OF DATA FROM OBS RECORD  1 ESTIMATED TO BE 0   L

 A common situation giving rise to this message is the use of a propor-  L
 tional   intra-individual  error  model  while  some predicted  values  L
 for  actual observations are zero or close to zero. (For  example,  if  L
 the  first dose is an infusion and there is  a  "base- line"  observa-  L
 tion  at  the start of the  infusion,  the  predicted  level  will  be  L
 zero.)                                                                  L

 NCONTR calls CELS (rather than a  user-supplied  CCONTR)  when  OPCELS  L
 (the first argument of NCONTR) is 1.                                    L

 CELS must not be called when a user-supplied CRIT routine is used.      L
