'ggplot2' Based Tool to Facilitate Diagnostic Plots for NLME Models
Overview
At Novartis, we aimed at standardizing the set of diagnostic plots used for modeling activities in order to reduce the overall effort required for generating such plots. For this, we developed a guidance that proposes an adequate set of diagnostics and a toolbox, called 'ggPMX' to execute them. 'ggPMX' is a toolbox that can generate all diagnostic plots at a quality sufficient for publication and submissions using few lines of code. This package focuses on plots recommended by ISoP doi:10.1002/psp4.12161. While not required, you can get/install the 'R' '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, 'R' can use 'Monolix' directly to create the required Chart Data instead of exporting it from the 'Monolix' gui.
- Fixed bug resulting in missing points upon mergin observations and predictions
- Changed labels in individual plots form accepted/ignored to observed/censored (Should be removed in the future)
