pre_fixef_extractor_nm: THETA extraction from results file
Description
Function to extract THETA estimates from a results file of an already run NONMEM file.
Usage
pre_fixef_extractor_nm(res_path)
Value
Named vector with parameter estimates from the previous run
Arguments
res_path
(string) (Path/)Name of the results file of a NONMEM run, must include file extension, e.g., “.res”

Details
Can be used, e.g., to initialize THETAs of a run with inter-individual variability with
estimated THETAs of a previous population run without inter-individual variability. Parameters, for which
final gradient is equal to 0 are fixed to 0, because a gradient of 0 indicates that corresponding neuron
was inactivated during parameter estimation.
