PRODUCTS: NONMEM® USER TIPS

These tips are brought to you as information of interest from experiences in using NONMEM. All tips can also be found in the tips folder on the NONMEM Repository@GloboMax.

Tip # 6 - Current Contents of the NONMEM Repository@GloboMax:


This week's tip is a reminder of what is currently available in the NONMEM Repository @ GloboMax:

Welcome to the NONMEM Repository@GloboMax LLC.
(Formerly hosted at the Palo Alto VA and Stanford University).

This repository does not contain the NONMEM program source code (except for user-supplied routines, e.g. PRED routines, written by individual NONMEM users). The NONMEM source code is copyrighted by the Regents of the University of of California. Individuals desiring to license NONMEM program source code should contact: nminfo@globomaxnm.com

The repository is organized by directories. The current directories are listed in the index below. We encourage the repository to be used to share user-supplied NONMEM codes, NONMEM data sets of interest, NM-TRAN control streams, frontend and backend programs to the NONMEM system, and the like. One might, for example, contribute NONMEM files (except possibly proprietary data) used to implement a particular application of interest e.g. an analysis of both the PK and PD data from a study of brain-wave activity with the administration of thiopental.

Please feel free to browse through the repository. The repository is read-only. We would very much appreciate your contributing files to the repository. Please forward your files to nmconsult@globomaxnm.com and we'll make them available on the ftp server. Presence of any file on the ftp server does not imply endorsement of it's use by GloboMax LLC. Suitability of any file for use is determined by the individual user and is the responsibility of the individual user.

The NONMEM repository is maintained by GloboMax LLC and is independent of the NONMEM Project Group. In addition to new materials, the repository contains material originally maintained by Steve Shafer and Jaap Mandema while at the Stanford University Department of Anesthesia.

Thank you for your interest in the NONMEM respository. We hope you will use this repository to share with others your work with NONMEM.

INDEX
 
Compliance:
  NONMEM codes for a Markov model for drug compliance contributed by Pascal Girard, Lewis B Sheiner
Compliance 2:
  MIXTURE MODEL FOR ASSIGNING RELIABILITY TO PK OBSERVATIONS AND ESTIMATING INDIVIDUAL PK PARAMETERS
Continuous & cateogorical:
  Simultaneous continuous and cateogorical modelling contributed by Nick Holford
Discussions:
  Notes on Concentrations below the limits of detection
Help.Dos.Tools:
  The files in this directory comprise the disk labelled "NONMEM Help Guide - DOS tools - May 1996" This disk is distributed along with NONMEM Guide VIII.
Hf0304.dir:
  This directory contains a single file, hf0304.zip. This file is the patch required in Microsoft Fortran 5.1 to open more than 25 files simultaneously, as required for NONMEM. ***OBSOLETE COMPILER***
JWM:
  This directory contains NONMEM control files for various applications(NONMEM IV)
  1. Models for categorical data applied to analgesia data
  2. PRED routines for 3-compartment models with multiple drug infusions contributed by Jaap W Mandema
Michaelis-Menten:
  control stream for a two compartment model with parallel first order elimination and Michaelis-Menten elimination. For straight MM just remove the linear contribution, contributed by Bill Bachman
NMREPORT:
  a VMS procedure (together with a couple of FORTRAN programs) that run sequences of NONMEM jobs, computes AIC and SBC criteria for model comparisons, creates one output file for all the models.
!!! It will work ONLY with VMS !!! contributed by Ekaterina Gibiansky
NMSEE:
  a post-processor program for NONMEM output. Nmsee extracts important lines from the NONMEM output. It can be instructed to ignore certain lines, to reformat them, and to precede them with identifying prefixes. It has been revised for NONMEM V, contributed by Alison Boeckmann
NMVCL:
  A PRED for 1,2, and 3 compartment mammillary pharmacokinetic models in terms of volumes and clearance. Covariates are entered into the model by use of an external table that relates thetas and covariates to the individual volume and clearance terms, contributed by Steve Shafer
NON_CONTINUOUS:
  Meant to contain control files for non-contiuous type data such as counts, proportions, time-to-event, categorical. Currently contains control files for time-to-event and (binary) categorical. contributed by Lewis Sheiner
