preconditionFit function

Linearly re-parameterize the model to be less sensitive to rounding errors

preconditionFit(fit, estType = c("full", "posthoc", "none"), ntry = 10L)

Arguments

• fit: A nlmixr2 fit to be preconditioned
• estType: Once the fit has been linearly reparameterized, should a "full" estimation, "posthoc" estimation or simply a estimation of the covariance matrix "none" before the fit is updated
• ntry: number of tries before giving up on a pre-conditioned covariance estimate

Returns

A nlmixr2 fit object that was preconditioned to stabilize the variance/covariance calculation
