nmrec is an R package for reading records from a NONMEM control
stream, parsing and modifying records of interest, and writing the
result.
Its creation was prompted by several features in bbr and bbr.bayes
that require modifying a NONMEM control stream. The purpose of
nmrec is to free these packages from worrying about many details of
parsing. For example, nmrec allows grabbing an estimation record
without accounting for the many ways $ESTIMATION could be spelled
($EST, $ESTM, or $esti, to name just a few).
nmrec aims to
-
stick as close to the NONMEM user guide specification as possible (e.g., support nearly all abbreviations and aliases for record names and options) and try to abort loudly when an unsupported case is hit
-
support parsing within record types of interest, adding support for other record types as needed
nmrec is available on MPN starting with the 2023-09-19 snapshot.
