MEANING: NONMEM-PRED common
CONTEXT: PRED routine
USAGE:
COMMON /NMPRD7/ ETA(LVR),EPS(LVR)
(If double precision is to be used):
DOUBLE PRECISION ETA,EPS
(If single precision is to be used):
REAL ETA,EPS
The value of LVR must be the same as that found in file SIZES
(See sizes).
DISCUSSION:
When the ONLYSIMULATION option on the $SIMULATION record is used, the
displayed eta values are those that PRED stores in common NMPRD7 dur-
ing the Simulation Step (i.e., at ICALL=4).
In generated and NM-TRAN library codes, ETA is automatically stored in
NMPRD7, and thus automatically, the simulated etas are displayable.
When using the PRED repetition feature, epsilon values generated in
PRED for simulation purposes (with or without the use of the ONLYSIMU-
LATION option) should be stored in common NMPRD7. Then when records
are repeated, these same epsilons values will be available in NMPRD7
as input. In particular, with every repeated record, the values that
were stored in NMPRD7 the last time the record was passed, are made
available as input to PRED (in EPS).
In generated and NM-TRAN library codes, EPS is automatically stored in
NMPRD7, and thus automatically, the simulated epsilons are available
as input with repeated records.
When using the repetition feature with single-subject data, eta values
generated in PRED for simulation purposes should be stored in NMPRD7.
What happens in this case is analogous to what happens in the case of
population data with epsilon values.
In generated and NM-TRAN library codes, ETA is automatically stored in
NMPRD7, and thus automatically, the simulated etas are available as
input with repeated records.
