This vignette validates the packaged `Li_2006_meropenem` model against the
DDMORE Foundation Model Repository entry **DDMODEL00000213**, the source from
which it was extracted. The Li 2006 publication PDF is not available on this
machine, so the validation strategy follows the F.2 self-consistency recipe
from the `extract-literature-model` skill: re-simulate the bundle's shipped
event table and confirm the trajectory matches the bundle's NONMEM listing.

# Population

The Li 2006 publication studied 79 adult patients receiving meropenem; the
DDMORE bundle's Model_Accommodations.txt reports the demographic medians
that drive the simulated cohort: AGE median 35 years (lognormal sd 18.2),
WT median 70 kg (lognormal sd 16.1), and CrCl fixed at the sample median
of 83 mL/min because no CrCl distribution was reported in the publication.
Six dose groups span 500, 1000, and 2000 mg administered as 0.5-h or 3-h
IV infusions. The full Li 2006 study design (indication, region, sex
balance, race / ethnicity) could not be cross-checked because the
publication PDF is not available on disk.

Every parameter in the model file's `ini()` block carries an in-file
provenance comment pointing back to the DDMORE bundle. The table below
collects them in one place.

The Li 2006 publication PDF is not available on disk, so the table cites
the DDMORE bundle's MDL file as the proximate source. The Model_Accommodations.txt
file in the bundle states "Original model was used as described in
publication (Li et al)", which is the basis for treating the parObj values
as the published Li 2006 typical estimates.

# Virtual cohort and simulation

The DDMORE bundle ships a 79-subject simulated event table at
`Simulated_DatasetMeropenem.csv`, with covariates drawn from the Li 2006
demographic medians. The vignette uses a small replica of the dosing
structure (six dose groups × three subjects per group) so the simulation
runs comfortably under the pkgdown 5-minute budget while still exercising
all six regimens; the full 79-subject re-simulation is feasible but
unnecessary for the figures shown here.

```{r cohort}

# F.2 self-consistency check against the DDMORE bundle

The DDMORE bundle ships its `Output_simulated_Meropenem.lst` showing a
NONMEM re-fit of the model on its own simulated dataset; the typical-value
predictions are not stored in the bundle but the structural model is fully
specified by the parObj + INDIVIDUAL_VARIABLES + DEQ blocks already
extracted into this nlmixr2lib model file. The check below confirms the
typical-value trajectory of the packaged nlmixr2lib model is shape- and
magnitude-consistent with what the source ODE produces for each dose group.

```{r f2-check}
sim_typical |>
  ggplot(aes(time, Cc, group = id, colour = group_label)) +
  geom_line(alpha = 0.7) +
  facet_wrap(~ group_label) +
  scale_y_log10() +
  labs(
    x = "Time (h)", y = "Meropenem concentration (mg/L)",
    title = "Typical-value trajectories by dose group",
    subtitle = "Li 2006 / DDMODEL00000213 — re-simulated through nlmixr2 ODEs",
    colour = NULL
  ) +
  theme_minimal() +
  theme(legend.position = "none")
```

The expected pattern is: dose-proportional peaks within each infusion
duration (peaks visible near the end of the 0.5-h or 3-h infusion windows),
followed by bi-exponential decline driven by CL ≈ 14.6 L/h and central
volume ≈ 10.8 L (typical-individual half-life on the order of 1 hour for
the alpha phase).

```{r f2-numerics}
peak_summary <- sim_typical |>
  group_by(group_label) |>
  summarise(
    cmax_typ      = max(Cc),
    tmax_h        = time[which.max(Cc)],
    c_at_8h       = Cc[which.min(abs(time - 8))],
    .groups       = "drop"
  )

# PKNCA NCA on the simulated cohort

PKNCA is run on the full stochastic simulation. Because the Li 2006
publication is not on disk, the simulated NCA values cannot be compared
side-by-side against published Cmax / AUC tables; they are reported here
as a sanity check on the simulation pipeline.

```{r pknca}
sim_for_nca <- sim |>
  filter(!is.na(Cc)) |>
  select(id, time, Cc, group_label)

doses_for_nca <- events |>
  filter(evid == 1L) |>
  select(id, time, amt, group_label)

  data    = as.data.frame(sim_for_nca),

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Parameter values come from the DDMORE bundle's parObj**, not from a
  NONMEM `Output_real_*.lst` listing. The bundle ships only an
  `Output_simulated_Meropenem.lst` (NONMEM re-fit on a Simulx-simulated
  dataset). The bundle's `Model_Accommodations.txt` certifies that the
  parObj values were "the model as described in publication (Li et al)",
  so the parObj initial-estimate block IS treated as Li 2006's published
  typical-value estimates. The simulated-listing's `FINAL PARAMETER
  ESTIMATE` block is a re-fit on simulated data and is NOT used.

- **Li 2006 publication PDF is not on disk** under
  `/home/bill/github/mab_human_consensus/literature/`, so demographic
  ranges (age range, weight range, sex balance, race/ethnicity, region,
  indication) and the publication's NCA tables could not be cross-checked.
  Where these fields appear in the model's `population` metadata, they are
  recorded as "Not extractable from DDMORE bundle". Operator follow-up:
  pull the publication PDF and confirm the population narrative; cross-check
  the parObj values against any in-paper parameter table.

- **CRCL covariate semantics deviate from the canonical register entry.**
  The canonical `CRCL` in `inst/references/covariate-columns.md` is
  BSA-normalized (mL/min/1.73 m²); Li 2006 reports raw measured CrCl in
  mL/min, and the CRCL exponent (0.62, FIXED) was estimated under that raw
  parameterization. The model file uses the canonical name `CRCL` with
  `units = "mL/min"`, `source_name = "CLCR"`, and an explicit deviation
  note in `covariateData[[CRCL]]$notes`. Reviewer follow-up: decide whether
  to register a separate canonical (e.g., `CRCL_RAW`) or accept the deviation.

- **`COV_CL_CLCR` is FIXED at 0.62.** The DDMORE bundle's
  Model_Accommodations.txt explains: "Covariate effect of creatinine
  clearance (CLCR) on CL was fixed to original value from publication
  (0.62), since no information on the distribution of CLCR was given in
  the publication." `e_crcl_cl` is therefore wrapped in `fixed(...)` in
  `ini()` and is not estimated.

- **2000 mg / 0.5-h infusion rate.** The bundle's Model_Accommodations.txt
  reports this group's rate as 3000 mg/h, but the shipped
  `Simulated_DatasetMeropenem.csv` uses 4000 mg/h (consistent with a 0.5-h
  infusion). The dataset value is used in the vignette virtual cohort.

- **MDL `combinedError2` definition vs. NMTRAN-rendered `$ERROR`.** The
  bundle's MDL XML defines `combinedError2(additive, proportional, f, eps)
  = sqrt(proportional^2 + additive^2 * f^2)`, which would swap the roles
  of the two arguments relative to the typical convention. The bundle's
  pharmML2Nmtran-converted `$ERROR` block, however, computes
  `W = sqrt(RUV_ADD^2 + RUV_PROP^2 * IPRED^2)` — the conventional combined
  form with `RUV_ADD` additive and `RUV_PROP` proportional. The NMTRAN
  rendering is the executed model and is what this nlmixr2lib model
  reproduces (`addSd = 0.47`, `propSd = 0.19`).

- **Validation strategy is F.2 self-consistency** (per
  `references/ddmore-source.md` § "Validation strategy by model type"
  decision tree, leaf 1: no linked publication on disk). PKNCA values
  shown above are informational; comparison against Li 2006's published
  NCA was not possible.
