In nlmixr2est: Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models in Population PK/PD, Estimation Routines

# Analytic FOCEI covariance: the standalone engine (foceiCov / foceiCovAnalytic)
# and the covMethod="analytic" seam (analytic R-matrix while the optimizer is live,
# with a finite-difference fallback out of scope).
#
# EVERY fit here PINS sigdig.  That is load-bearing, not decoration:
#
#   * These references are pinned to NONMEM output, so reproducing the standard
#     errors requires the same tolerances the ODE optimization ran at.  sigdig sets
#     both (rtol = 10^-sigdig, atol = 10^(-sigdig-3)) AND the optimizer tolerances,
#     so it fixes WHERE the fit converges, not just how accurately it is evaluated.
#   * The comparison tests additionally need MATCHED precision on both sides: the
#     gold-FD Hessian solves at a fixed 1e-12 and the analytic augmented solve is
#     10^-(sigdig+6), which is why those fits pin sigdig = 6 (449d18c49) rather
#     than 4.  Do not "simplify" them to one value.
#   * The observed information here is near-singular.  At sigdig = 3 the optimizer
#     stops ~7.5e-3 away in theta and the smallest eigenvalue of the block-Omega
#     covariance goes NEGATIVE (focei -3.07e-04, foce -3.62e-02), giving NaN SEs
#     under BOTH methods.  Every sigdig >= 4 is positive-definite.  That is a
#     converged-point effect, not an error in the covariance engine.
#
# The unpinned fits previously inherited the package default, which moved 4 -> 3 in
# 7d3c7b62d and silently invalidated them.  sigdig = 4 restores what they were
# written against; pin it explicitly so a future default change cannot repeat this.
