Monolix is a tool for running mixed effects model using saem'. This tool allows you to convert Monolix models to rxode2 (Wang, Hallow and James (2016) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12052>) using the form compatible with nlmixr2 (Fidler et al (2019) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12445>). If available, the rxode2 model will read in the Monolix data and compare the simulation for the population model individual model and residual model to immediately show how well the translation is performing. This saves the model development time for people who are creating an rxode2 model manually. Additionally, this package reads in all the information to allow simulation with uncertainty (that is the number of observations, the number of subjects, and the covariance matrix) with a rxode2 model. This is complementary to the babelmixr2 package that translates nlmixr2 models to Monolix and can convert the objects converted from monolix2rx to a full nlmixr2 fit. While not required, you can get/install the lixoftConnectors
package in the Monolix installation, as described at the following url <https://monolixsuite.slp-software.com/r-functions/2024R1/installation-and-initialization>. When lixoftConnectors
is available, Monolix can be used to load its model library instead manually setting up text files (which only works with old versions of Monolix').
