npdeSaemix: Create an npdeObject from an saemixObject

In saemix: Stochastic Approximation Expectation Maximization (SAEM) Algorithm

Create an npdeObject from an saemixObject

Description

This function uses the npde library to compute normalised prediction distribution errors (npde) and normalised prediction discrepancies (npd). The simulations can also be used to plot VPCs. As of version 3.0, the plot functions for diagnostics involving VPC, npde or npd are deprecated and the user will be redirected to the current proposed method (creating an NpdeObject and using the plot functions from the library npde).

Usage

npdeSaemix(saemixObject, nsim = 1000)

Arguments

saemixObject	a fitted object resulting from a call to saemix()
nsim	the number of simulations used to compute npde (1000 by default, we suggest increasing it for large datasets)

Details

Since version 3.0, the saemix package depends on the npde package, which computes the npd/npde and produces graphs. See the documentation for npde for details on the computation methods See the PDF documentation and the bookdown https://iame-researchcenter.github.io/npde_bookdown/ for details on the different plots available.

Value

An object of class NpdeObject
