NLME Model Run Options and Execution

RsNLME Model Executor

The Model Executor is a Shiny app handles the NLME model run setup and execution.

For individual modeling, the jobs are always run locally using the run method Naive-pooled, which cannot be changed. Population modelers have many more run options.

Select the NLME model to run in the main Pirana window.
Right-click the selected model and choose RsNLME shiny > Execute Metamodel.
In the Model Executor window, select the Run Mode from the pulldown.
Choose from:
Simple
Scenarios
Covariate Srch Stepwise
Covariate Srch Shotgun
Bootstrap
Visual Predictive Check
Simulation
When finished setting the run options, click the Run button at the bottom of the window to begin execution.
A status window is displayed showing results from each iteration (if multiple iterations were requested. When execution completes, click Close.

Note:Partial derivatives setup options are available for individual models only, but for all run modes.
Enter the amount of perturbation to apply to parameters to obtain partial derivatives in the Step Size field and specify the Number of Time Steps.
Plots of the partial derivatives are spaced at this number of time vales over the whole time line. To get a coarse plot, specify a low number. To get a smoother plot, specify a larger number of steps.
