Hi Lucas,

❝ This is how it would look like according to them: […]

Interesting! I didn’t count, but ~200 subjects is not common in BE studies. It will not look that nice in the real world. The x-axis of the first plot is strange (negative means – I beg your pardon?). The distribution doesn’t look normal but skewed to the left* and the Q-Q plot looks extremely ugly. That’s actually a great example which EDA would suggest to use another transformation (e.g., ℯ^x or xⁿ, where n>1).
However, let’s see what you can get in PHX (I numbered the panels in your plot):

Plotting > XY-Plot (though for the abscissa I would either use the subject’s ID or the predicted model values).
Plotting > Histogram ☑ Show relative Frequency. In the current version (6.3) it is not possible to overlay a normal distribution, maybe in the next release?
Plotting > QQ Plot.
Upper part = trivial. Lower part = strange. In PHX the line in the Q-Q plot is fitted automatically – I don’t think it is possible to extract the parameters and AIC, BIC.
BTW, these values are only useful in comparing different models. I cannot imagine what might its purpose here. AICC is the AIC corrected for small sample sizes. It proves that the statistician is a “push-the-button-type” who does not know what he is doing. Of course you could fit the standard quantiles vs. stud. resid’s by PHX’ linear model.

If the sponsor insists on a similar layout, you have to leave PHX because different types of plots arranged in an array (aka trelis/lattice plots) are not supported. Either export relevant data from PHX and continue the analysis in R or generate the plots in PHX and paste them into a 4-cell table in your preferred text-processor.

AUC and C_max have been shown to follow a log-normal distribution – which is skewed to the right. However, in order to apply parametric methods the residuals (which are estimates of the residual error) must be normal – not the original values. The log-transformation is more a convention than justified. I have never seen values skewed to the left. Which kind of stuff is this?
