ICON Releases NONMEM 7.2

ICON

announced the release of a new version of NONMEM, ICON’s non-linear, mixed effects modeling tool for Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data analysis.

One year following the release of NONMEM® 7, which included a new suite of statistical methods to support more complex models for analysing Population PK/PD data and a more comprehensive range of classical estimation methods, ICON has released NONMEM® 7.2, which includes the following enhancements:
 

  • Parallel computing of a single problem over multiple cores or computers, significantly reducing completion time.

  • Dynamic memory allocation according to problem size, eliminating the need to recompile the NONMEM® program for unusually large problems. User may override program generated suggested values using a statement in the control stream.

  • Other improvements include control stream files that may be written in mixed case, added flexibility in the input and output of variance matrix parameters, XML markup version of the NONMEM® report file, as well as features to facilitate stochastic differential equations (SDE).
