Dear yicaoting!

❝ But you as everyone know (as WNL's usr guide pointed, Phoenix WinNonlin 6.0 guide Page 338), to convert

90% CI of LSMean(R-T) to 90% CI of GeoMean Ratio(%) (T/R), we only need a simple calculation like

CI_Lower = 100 · exp(lower)

CI_Upper = 100 · exp(upper)

❝ No iteration is needed, and no optimization algorithm is needed.


See my other post. No optimization here, but lower and upper are obtained by REML (as ElMaestro pointed out). Default settings in PHX/WNL are maximum 50 iterations, estimability tolerance 10-5, singularity tolerance 10-10, convergence criterion 10-10. BTW, with our dataset convergence is reached in the first iteration [-2×REML log(likelihood) 4.8289659].

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
