MEANING: Replication (REPL_) data item
CONTEXT: $INPUT record and NONMEM data set
USAGE:
$INPUT ... REPL_ ...
DISCUSSION:
REPL_ labels NONMEM's replication (REPL_) data item. The replication
data item is optional. When the REPL_ data item is listed in $INPUT,
the NONMEM data set is considered to be a template data set. NONMEM
itself replicates subjects from the template data set at the start of
the problem to create an expanded NONMEM data set.
(Note that the NONMEM data set is typically the file FDATA generated
by NM-TRAN, unless there is nothing for NM-TRAN to change and the for-
mat is supplied on the $DATA record, in which case the file named on
the $DATA record is the NONMEM data set. See NONMEM Users Guide, Part
IV.)
The value of REPL_ is the replication number for that subject. If the
value is fractional, it will be truncated to the nearest integer.
Only the REPL_ value of the first record of each individual will be
used to determine its replication number. If for some subject the
value of REPL_ is 0, the subject is deleted from the NONMEM data set.
REPL_ may be used with the $DATA ... REPL option, which replicates the
entire data set REPL=n times. If both are used the REPL_ data item
applies first, and the REPL option applies second.
See REPL option of $DATA record.
The REPL option and REPL_ data item are meant to be used with $SIMULA-
TION or $DESIGN.
