Dear Shuanghe!

❝ After discovering they don't even have max min, […]



I couldn’t believe this first. Was available up to WinNonlin 5.3…

❝ […] and x**2 is not working as square of x, as SAS would do, I did this:

if(abs(lower_ci) > abs(upper_ci), abs(lower_ci)* abs(lower_ci), abs(upper_ci)*abs(upper_ci)). :crying: Where did you get the idea that ^ means to raise power?


Old habits. I knew from ‘classical’ WNL that both X**Y and X^Y work in ASCII-models, but only the latter in worksheets (similar to Excel). Safes one keystroke. :-D

❝ By the way, I seems to get slightly different CI as well. I need to run more SAS to confirm it but the difference I got is usually very small, always happens to the last decimal.


Hhm. The second decimal is not enough. I consider a successful ‘cross-validation’ if results agree at least to the third decimal (rounding!).

❝ But imagine some day you have 125.01% instead of 125.00%..., there would be a lot of :blahblah: with regulator to get the approval. or not.


Would only cost money. Imagine the other way ’round: You get the approval with 125.00 and after two years of marketing the drug some guy at an agency recalculates the data with SAS. Not so nice.

I’m all in favor of the democratic principle
that one idiot is as good as one genius, but I draw the line
when someone takes the next step and concludes
that two idiots are better than one genius.    Leo Szilard
