NMwriteInits {NMsim}R Documentation

Writes a parameter values to a control stream

Description

Edit parameter values, fix/unfix them, or edit lower/upper bounds.

Usage

NMwriteInits(
  file.mod,
  update = TRUE,
  file.ext = NULL,
  ext,
  inits.tab,
  values,
  newfile,
  ...
)

Arguments

file.mod

Path to control stream.

update

If 'TRUE' (default), the parameter values are updated based on the '.ext' file. The path to the '.ext' file can be specified with 'file.ext' but that is normally not necessary.

file.ext

Optionally provide the path to an '.ext' file. If not provided, the default is to replace the file name extention on 'file.mod' with '.ext'. This is only used if 'update=TRUE'.

ext

An long-format parameter table as returned by 'NMreadExt()'. Can contain multiple models if 'file.mod' does not.

inits.tab

A wide-format parameter table, well suited for customizing initial values, limits, and for fixing parameters. For multiple custom parameter specifications, this may be the most suitable argument.

values

A list of lists. Each list specifies a parameter with named elements. Must be named by the parameter name. 'lower', 'upper' and 'fix' can be supplied to modify the parameter. See examples. Notice, you can use '...' instead. 'values' may be easier for programming but other than that, most users will find '...' more intuitive.

newfile

If provided, the results are written to this file as a new input control stream.

...

Parameter specifications. See examples,

Limitations:

Value

a control stream as lines in a character vector.

Examples

## Not run: 
file.mod <- system.file("examples/nonmem/xgxr021.mod",package="NMdata")
## specify parameters using ...
NMwriteInits(file.mod,
  "theta(2)"=list(init=1.4),
  "THETA(3)"=list(FIX=1),
  "omega(2,2)"=list(init=0.1)
)
## or put them in a list in the values argument
NMwriteInits(file.mod,
values=list( "theta(2)"=list(init=1.4),
             "THETA(3)"=list(FIX=1),
             "omega(2,2)"=list(init=0.1))
)
