preconditionFit {nlmixr2}

Linearly re-parameterize the model to be less sensitive to rounding errors

Description

Linearly re-parameterize the model to be less sensitive to rounding errors

Usage

preconditionFit(fit, estType = c("full", "posthoc", "none"), ntry = 10L)

Arguments

fit

A nlmixr2 fit to be preconditioned

estType

Once the fit has been linearly reparameterized, should a "full" estimation, "posthoc" estimation or simply a estimation of the covariance matrix "none" before the fit is updated

ntry

number of tries before giving up on a pre-conditioned covariance estimate

Value

A nlmixr2 fit object that was preconditioned to stabilize the variance/covariance calculation
