which I assume ahve to do with the two missing values in the PKdata, but I am not sure how to deal with them in this context (ie how to remove them).
Moreover, given that infer doesn’t work I assume vpc will not work as it will lack the CIs for the shaded plots even if we didnt have the missing issue correct?

Thanks-

PS - I know my posts are long, but I am trying to provide as much info as possible!

thanks, it helps with the information. did you remove all the etas from your model to run NaivePooled()? and what were the starting parameters you used as the initiat estimates for your fit?

Here are the two models:

FOCEI:

PK = @model begin

    @param begin
      θ ∈ VectorDomain(6,lower=[0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01], init=[0.011, 1000, 1000, 1000, 0.011, 0.011]) 
#       Ω ∈ PSDDomain(5)
       σ_prop ∈ RealDomain(lower=0.01, init=0.04)
    end

    @random begin
      η ~ MvNormal(Matrix{Float64}(0.04I, 5, 5))
#       η ~ MvNormal(Ω)
    end

    @pre begin
        CL_adc        = θ[1]
        CLD_adc       = θ[2]*exp(η[1])
        V1_adc        = θ[3]*exp(η[2])
        V2_adc        = θ[4]*exp(η[3])
        Vmax          = θ[5]*exp(η[2])
        Km            = θ[6]*exp(η[3])
    end


    @dynamics begin
        A1'  = -CL_adc*C1 - CLD_adc*(C1-C2) - Vmax*C1/(Km+C1)
        A2'  =  CLD_adc*(C1-C2)
    end
    
    @vars begin
        C1   :=  A1/V1_adc
        C2   :=  A2/V2_adc
    end
        

    @derived begin
#         a1     = A1
        Conc_Mean     = C1
        dv ~ @. Normal(Conc_Mean, sqrt(Conc_Mean^2*σ_prop)+eps())
    end
    
end

NaivePooled:


PK1 = @model begin

    @param begin
      θ ∈ VectorDomain(6,lower=[0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01], init=[0.011, 1000, 1000, 1000, 0.011, 0.011]) 
#       Ω ∈ PSDDomain(5)
       σ_prop ∈ RealDomain(lower=0.01, init=0.04)
    end

    @random begin
#       η ~ MvNormal(Matrix{Float64}(0.04I, 5, 5))
#       η ~ MvNormal(Ω)
    end

    @pre begin
        CL_adc        = θ[1]
        CLD_adc       = θ[2]
        V1_adc        = θ[3]
        V2_adc        = θ[4]
        Vmax          = θ[5]
        Km            = θ[6]
    end


    @dynamics begin
        A1'  = -CL_adc*C1 - CLD_adc*(C1-C2) - Vmax*C1/(Km+C1)
        A2'  =  CLD_adc*(C1-C2)
    end
    
    @vars begin
        C1   :=  A1/V1_adc
        C2   :=  A2/V2_adc
    end
        

    @derived begin
#         a1     = A1
        Conc_Mean     = C1
        dv ~ @. Normal(Conc_Mean, sqrt(Conc_Mean^2*σ_prop)+eps())
    end
    
end

As you see only prdicts works, but only for FOCEI not NaivePooled. infer or vpc don’t for either.
I’ll try to put upper limit in sigma_prop, that may help
Take care,

Just to note again - VPC is NOT a supported feature in the version that you have. It will be updated shortly.
The infer issue is something that we know about and should be more stable in the next release. but the main question I have for you is, do these parameter values make sense to you?

Yes and no -
The sigma_prop is crazy. The other values make more sense as what we are having is a super quick clearing system. The Vmax and Km were added to account for the quick drop on concentration, while keeping the CL parameter relatively small, as I am not constraining it, the quick disappearance of my analyte can be explained either by this parameters or the Phoenix ones, that I shared with you before.
Overall, I am happy with the results.

Is there any chance you could try to simulate data in Pumas and estimate the model in your other software? I’m still curious if something is not matching between the two systems (in terms of syntax or whatever).

Do you mean generate data in pumas with some group of parameters and see if I can recover the parameters on Phoenix?

I can do the rims for sure, I’ll then need to ask for the Phoenix runs, it may take a couple of days/weeks for my go-worker to get back to me, but I’ll start asking today :slight_smile:

A

Exactly! Something is obviously strange here, and I just want to verify that the model as written actually does what it’s supposed to :slight_smile:

Hi -
I finally have the Phoenix model available as well as a larger dataset, and a word file with the textual model. As attachments here are limited to figures. Is there a way for me to share this files as requested with you?

Thanks

quick, unrelated, question - when you are doing a dose - jhow do you specify to which of all the variables in your equation system the dose corresponds?
Is it just dosed to the top variable in the dynamic system? I don’t see where to specify that in the regimen.

You can chose the cmt https://docs.pumas.ai/dev/basics/doses_subjects_populations/#Dosage-Regimen-Terminology-1 . Edit: but yes, it defaults to the first state/compartment in your dynamics block.

Okay, maybe that wasn’t as helpful as I could have been!

Consider this slightly odd model.

using Pumas

mdsl1 = @model begin
    @param begin
        θ ∈ VectorDomain(1, init=[0.5])
        Ω ∈ RealDomain(lower=0.001, init=0.5)
    end

    @random begin
        η ~ Normal(0.0, Ω)
    end

    @pre begin
        CL = θ[1] * exp(η)
        V  = 1.0
    end

    @vars begin
        conc1 = Central1 / V
        conc2 = Central2 / V
    end

    @dynamics begin
      Central1' = -CL/V*Central1
      Central2' = -CL/V*Central2
    end
    @derived begin
        dv1 ~ @. Normal(conc1,0.01)
        dv2 ~ @. Normal(conc2,0.01)
    end
end

There are two central compartments that act exactly the same, but they are disconnected. So how can we dose into Central1?

dose = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=1, time=0, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
pop   = Population(map(i -> Subject(id=i, evs=dose),1:4))
_simobs = simobs(mdsl1, pop, init_param(mdsl1); obstime=range(0,10;step=0.1))

and you can plot.

using Plots
plot(_simobs)

And intro Central2?

dose = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=2, time=0, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
pop   = Population(map(i -> Subject(id=i, evs=dose),1:4))
_simobs = simobs(mdsl1, pop, init_param(mdsl1); obstime=range(0,10;step=0.1))
plot(_simobs)

What about in Central1 at time 0 and then in Central2 at time 2?

dose1 = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=1, time=0, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
dose2 = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=2, time=2, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
dose = DosageRegimen(dose1, dose2)
pop   = Population(map(i -> Subject(id=i, evs=dose),1:4))
_simobs = simobs(mdsl1, pop, init_param(mdsl1); obstime=range(0,10;step=0.1))
plot(_simobs)

But really, I prefer to use the symbols, say :Central2. But you can combine them:

dose1 = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=1, time=0, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
dose2 = DosageRegimen(43, cmt=:Central2, time=2, ii=1, addl=0, rate=0)
dose = DosageRegimen(dose1, dose2)
pop   = Population(map(i -> Subject(id=i, evs=dose),1:4))
_simobs = simobs(mdsl1, pop, init_param(mdsl1); obstime=range(0,10;step=0.1))
plot(_simobs)

So if th cmt keyword is an integer it’s the order of specification in dynamics and if it’s a symbol, it’s the name of the state / compartment.

Thanks so much -
This clarifies a lot!

I really appreciate it!

I sent the Phoenix files and a non-agregated dataset.
The parameter estimation should be similar to the data that I already shared as NaivePooled was also used to estimate.

Thanks for all the help?
