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.
