Do visual predictive check (VPC) plots for nlme-based non-linear mixed effect models

vpc_nlmixr_nlme(fit, nsim = 100, condition = NULL, ...)

vpcNlmixrNlme(fit, nsim = 100, condition = NULL, ...)

# S3 method for nlmixrNlme
vpc(sim, ...)

Arguments

fit

nlme fit object

nsim

number of simulations

condition

conditional variable

...

Additional arguments

sim

this is usually a data.frame with observed data, containing the independent and dependent variable, a column indicating the individual, and possibly covariates. E.g. load in from NONMEM using read_table_nm. However it can also be an object like a nlmixr or xpose object

Value

Called for its side effects of creating a VPC
