NMreadCov {NMdata}R Documentation

Read covariance matrix from '.cov' file

Description

Read covariance matrix from '.cov' file

Usage

NMreadCov(file, auto.ext, tableno = "max", simplify = TRUE)

Arguments

file

The ".cov" covariance Nonmem matrix file to read

auto.ext

If 'TRUE' (default) the extension will automatically be modified using 'NMdataConf()$file.cov'. This means 'file' can be the path to an input or output control stream, and 'NMreadCov()' will still read the '.cov' file.

tableno

The table number to read. The ".cov" file can contain multiple tables and will often do so if using SAEM/IMP methods. Default is "max" which means the last table is used. Alternative values are "min" and "all" or numeric values. If "all" or multiple numeric values are used, a list is returned. However, see 'simplify' too.

simplify

If 'TRUE' (default) and only one table is returned (say using tableno="max") only that matrix is returned as a matrix object. If 'FALSE' or multiple tables are returned, the result is a list.

Value

A matrix with covariance step from NONMEM or a list of such matrices (see 'simplify')
