custom model space. This name will be used as the key for this model within
the returned |
Details
This function acts as a parser for custom PML code. It attempts to identify
and extract various PML statements within the provided CustomCode string.
Recognized statements include:
Observations/Responses:
observe(),error(),multi(),ordinal(),count(),event(),LL()Structural Parameters:
stparm()Covariates:
covariate()(parsed as backward),fcovariate()(parsed as forward),interpolate()Dosing:
dosepoint(),dosepoint2()Parameter Definitions:
ranef(),fixef()Model Dynamics:
deriv(),cfMicro(),cfMacro(),cfMacro1(),transit(),delayInfCpt()Other Compartments:
urinecpt()
The function cleans the code (removes comments, standardizes spacing) for
parsing most statements but uses the original code for stparm and fixef
parsing to preserve complex structures.
The extracted components are stored as specific S3 objects (e.g.,
ObservationCustom, StParmCustom, CovariateCustom, DosepointCustom)
within the list element corresponding to the SpaceName. This structured
representation allows the custom model to be potentially inspected or manipulated
by other package functions, although interacting with built-in models via
functions like modify_StParm is generally more robust than modifying custom
code components directly.
Value
A list object of class PMLModels. This list contains a single
element, named according to the provided or generated SpaceName. The
value of this element is an internal list structure (created by the internal
CustomSpace function) holding the original code and parsed components.
Examples
# Example custom PML code (simplified)
custom_pml <- "test() {
cfMicro(A1, Cl / V)
dosepoint(A1)
C = A1 / V
error(CEps = 1)
observe(CObs = C + CEps)
stparm(V = tvV * exp(nV))
stparm(Cl = tvCl * exp(nCl))
fixef(tvV = c(, 1, ))
fixef(tvCl = c(, 1, ))
ranef(diag(nV, nCl) = c(1, 1))
}

Details
The algorithm parameter specifies the search algorithm. The algorithm “MOGA” and “MOGA3” are used for multi-objective optimization: "MOGA" uses NSGA-II (see the documentation at https://pymoo.org/algorithms/moo/nsga2.html?highlight=nsga%20ii), and "MOGA3" uses NSGA-III (see the documentation at https://pymoo.org/algorithms/moo/nsga3.html?highlight=nsga%20ii). For MOGA3, the objectives and constraints must be defined and returned by postprocessing scripts (post_run_r_code or post_run_python_code) in a specific format:
R scripts should return a list of two vectors: the first vector is for the objectives and the second one is for the constraints. If no constraints, the second vector should be empty.
Python scripts should return a tuple of two lists: the first list is for the objectives and the second one is for the constraints). If no constraints, the second list should be empty.
Other algorithms include "EX" (Exhaustive), "GA" (Genetic Algorithm), "GP" (Gaussian Process), "RF" (Random Forest), "GBRT" (Gradient Boosted Random Tree), and "PSO" (Particle Swarm Optimization).
Please see pyDarwin documentation for complete details on all options.

Generate NLME Model Template from JSON Specification
Description
This function serves as a command-line argument parser that calls an
internal function (output_NLMETemplateInternal) to generate NLME (Non-Linear
Mixed Effects) model templates. It takes a series of "key=value" pairs,
processes a detailed JSON model specification, and outputs a model template
file and a corresponding tokens file, which can be used for model fitting.
Usage
output_NLMETemplate(args)
Arguments
args |
A character vector where each element is a string in the format "key=value". The function parses these strings to set up the model generation process. The following keys are expected:
|
Value
This function does not return a value to the R environment. It is executed for its side effect of writing two files:
A model template file to the location specified by
template_path.A tokens JSON file to the location specified by
tokens_path.
See Also
The core logic is handled by the internal function output_NLMETemplateInternal.
The final file writing is performed by write_ModelTemplateTokens.

selection = "tournament",
selection_size = 2,
crossover_operator = "cxOnePoint",
mutate = "flipBit",
attribute_mutation_probability = 0.1,
niche_penalty = 20
)
Arguments
elitist_num |
A positive integer specifying the number of best models from any generation to carry over, unchanged, to the next generation. Functions like the Hall of Fame in DEAP. Default: 2 |
crossover_rate |
A real value (between 0.0 and 1.0) specifying the fraction of mating pairs that will undergo crossover. Default: 0.95 |
mutation_rate |
A real value (between 0.0 and 1.0) specifying the probability that at least one bit in the genome will be “flipped”, 0 to 1, or 1 to 0. Default: 0.95 |
sharing_alpha |
A real value specifying the parameter of the niche penalty calculation. Default: 0.1 |
selection |
A string specifying the selection algorithm for the GA. Currently, only "tournament" is available. Default: "tournament" |
selection_size |
A positive integer specifying the number of “parents” to enter in the selection. 2 is highly recommended, experience with other values is very limited. Default: 2 |
crossover_operator |
A string specifying the algorithm for crossover. Only "cxOnePoint" (single-point crossover) is available. Default: "cxOnePoint" |
mutate |
A string specifying the algorithm for mutation. Currently, only "flipBit" is available. Default: "flipBit" |
attribute_mutation_probability |
A real value specifying the probability of any bit being mutated (real value between 0.0 and 1.0). Default: 0.1 |
niche_penalty |
A positive real value used for the calculation of the crowding penalty. The niche penalty is calculated by first finding the “distance matrix”, the pair-wise Mikowski distance from the present model to all other models. The “crowding” quantity is then calculated as the sum of: (distance/niche_radius)^sharing_alpha for all other models in the generation for which the Mikowski distance is less than the niche radius. Finally, the penalty is calculated as: exp((crowding-1)*niche_penalty)-1. The objective of using a niche penalty is to maintain diversity of models, to avoid premature convergence of the search by penalizing when models are too similar to other models in the current generation. Default: 20 |
Value
An object of class "pyDarwinOptionsGA" containing the specified GA options.

# Create GA options with default values
options <- pyDarwinOptionsGA()
# Create GA options with custom values
options <-
pyDarwinOptionsGA(elitist_num = 4,

Details
This function defines parameters for the MOGA settings block in pyDarwin.
The relevance of certain parameters (objectives, names, constraints,
partitions) depends on whether the algorithm in
create_pyDarwinOptions() is set to "MOGA" (for NSGA-II) or "MOGA3"
(for NSGA-III).
If
algorithm = "MOGA"(NSGA-II): pyDarwin internally uses 2 objectives (OFV and NEP). Theobjectives,names,constraints, andpartitionsparameters from this MOGA options block are ignored by pyDarwin. Postprocessing scripts are not used by pyDarwin to define objectives.If
algorithm = "MOGA3"(NSGA-III): Theobjectives,names,constraints, andpartitionsparameters from this MOGA options block are utilized by pyDarwin. User-supplied postprocessing scripts (R or Python) are required to calculate and return the values for the objectives and constraints. (R: list of two vectors; Python: tuple of two lists).
Common parameters like crossover, crossover_rate, mutation_rate, and
attribute_mutation_probability apply to both "MOGA" and "MOGA3" variants.
Value
A list containing MOGA-specific options.
Examples
# MOGA options, defaults are generally suitable for algorithm = "MOGA3"
# if postprocessing handles 3 objectives.
moga_block_for_moga3 <- pyDarwinOptionsMOGA(
objectives = 3,
names = c("Objective1", "Objective2", "Objective3"),
constraints = 1,
partitions = 10
)
# MOGA options where specific settings are for NSGA-II (algorithm = "MOGA")
# Note: objectives, names, constraints, partitions would be ignored by pyDarwin.

crossover = "two_point",
crossover_rate = 0.92

will be used to execute the post-processing script specified in
|
post_run_r_code |
Character: The file path to the R script that contains post-processing code. This script will be executed after the pyDarwin optimization process finishes. For NSGA-III (MOGA with 3 objectives), the R script must return a list containing two vectors: the first for objectives, the second for constraints (empty vector if no constraints). For other cases, it should return a vector containing a penalty value and a text string. Default: "{project_dir}/simplefunc.R". |

to TRUE, Python will be used to execute the post-processing script
specified in |
post_run_python_code |
Character: The file path to the Python script
that contains post-processing code.
The script must contain a function |
Value

Reconnect, Monitor, and Retrieve Results from a Remote pyDarwin Job
Description
This function reconnects to a pyDarwin job previously launched in the background on a remote host. It monitors the job until completion (if a PID is available), then downloads and processes the results.
Usage
reconnect_pyDarwinJob(
LocalDirectoryPath = ".",
LocalJobInfoFilePath = NULL,
OriginalOptionsPath = NULL,
Password = NULL,
KeyPath = NULL,
MonitoringInterval = 30,
verbose = getOption("verbose", default = FALSE)

Character string: The base local directory associated
with the pyDarwin job. This directory is used to:
1. Locate the job information file (if |
LocalJobInfoFilePath |
Character string (optional): Explicit path to the local
JSON file containing information about the remote job (e.g., as created by
|

verbose |
Logical: Passed to helper functions for verbose output during
SSH connection and file downloads.
Default: |
Details
This function requires a job information JSON file (typically created by
RunPyDarwinRemote when Wait = FALSE) to obtain details like the remote host,
user, remote project directory, and optionally the remote process ID (PID).
The ProjectName is crucial. It's primarily derived from the project_name
field in the original options file (located via OriginalOptionsPath or within
LocalDirectoryPath). If not present in the options file, a fallback derivation
uses the parent directory name of the options file. This ProjectName is then
used to find the job info file (as {ProjectName}_remote_job_info.json in
LocalDirectoryPath) if LocalJobInfoFilePath is not directly provided.
If the job info file itself contains a ProjectName, that value may take precedence.
Downloaded results are organized locally using this determined ProjectName.
If RemoteJobPID is available in the job info file, the function will actively
monitor the process. If the PID is not available, it will skip active monitoring
and proceed directly to attempt downloading any available results.
Value
A list containing parsed results similar to RunPyDarwinRemote(Wait = TRUE)
(i.e., results data.frame, FinalResultFile, FinalControlFile,
DownloadedResultsDir, DownloadedItems), or the content of the
downloaded messages.txt as a character vector if primary result
files are not found or parsed successfully. If essential information
(like job info or options file) is missing, the function will stop.

FinalResultFile: Character vector containing lines from the final model's result file (e.g.,.lst,.txt). -
FinalControlFile: Character vector containing lines from the final model's control file (e.g.,.mod,.mmdl).
If result files are not found, warnings are issued. If no results are found but
messages.txtexists, its content might be returned with a warning. If the Python call fails (non-zero exit code), the function stops with an error.-
If
Wait = FALSE: A character string giving the full path to the main pyDarwin log file (messages.txt) within theworking_dir.
Background Execution (Wait = FALSE)
When Wait is set to FALSE, the pyDarwin process is launched in the
background, and the R function returns immediately. This allows R to continue
processing while pyDarwin runs.
-
Output Redirection: Standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) from the Python process are redirected to files named
stdout.logandstderr.logrespectively, within theworking_dir. These files are crucial for diagnosing issues if the background process fails or behaves unexpectedly. -
Primary Log: The main pyDarwin log file (
messages.txt, located in theworking_dir) remains the primary source for detailed run information, but thestdout.logandstderr.logcapture console output and errors directly.

Details
This function allows customization of the NLME engine settings.
Parameters are validated based on type, range, and applicability (detailed in
parameter descriptions). Only parameters explicitly set to a value different
from their default for the specified context (e.g., method-specific
defaults for stdErr) are included in the output string. Values are returned
as character strings.
Important Note on Defaults: Uses fixed defaults as specified in the argument
list for comparison unless otherwise noted (e.g., stdErr). The actual
default applied by NLME might differ based on model context (population vs
individual, presence of reset info, discontinuities, BQL data).
Parameter Applicability & Warnings:
The function checks for common cases where provided parameters might be
ignored by the NLME engine based on the selected method or other settings.
Warnings are issued in such cases. It assumes population context unless
method="Naive-Pooled".
Value
A single character string containing space-separated name=value
pairs, ordered according to the function signature. Includes parameters if
specified with non-default values (using method-specific defaults for
stdErr).

Details
Mapping Details:
Basic Mapping: Maps a model variable name (e.g., CObs) to a column name
in your data file (e.g., "Concentration").
Shorthand Mapping: If an element is unnamed, the Model Term is assumed
to be the same as the Data Column Term.
Example: c(ID = "Subject", "Age", Weight = "WT") is equivalent to
c(ID = "Subject", Age = "Age", Weight = "WT").
Multiple ID/Grouping Levels: Model terms matching the pattern ID[0-9]?
(i.e., ID, ID0, ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4), case-insensitive, are
automatically recognized by Certara.RsNLME as NLME sort keys/grouping
levels. You can map up to 5 such levels. The function uses these to
structure the model execution.
Covariates: If not explicitly mapped, the function attempts to map them
using data column names that match covariate names in the model.
Mapping a List: When using a list, each vector must map terms specific
to its parameter set, and the list length must equal the number of parameter sets.
Special Terms:
Terms
<DosepointName>_Durationor<DosepointName>_Ratecould be used to map rate/duration columns for the corresponding dosepoints (e.g.,A1_Rate = "InfRate"). Term<ObservationName>BQLcould be used to map a BQL flag column for the corresponding observation (e.g.,CObsBQL = "ConcBQL").
The generic
AMTterm can be used to map the dose amount column; the function will automatically associate it with the primary absorption compartment (e.g.,A1for zero-order/bolus,Aafor first-order) for each parameter set.
Generic
DurationorRateterms can be mapped (e.g.,Rate = "InfRate"); the function will associate them with the dose mapped viaAMT. If a specific mapping likeA1_Rateexists, it overrides the genericRatemapping for that dosepoint (A1).
Value
A list containing statements written to template and tokens files.

Write pyDarwin options to a JSON file.
Description
This function takes a list of pyDarwin options and writes them to a JSON file
in the specified format. The options can be generated using the
create_pyDarwinOptions function or customized manually. The resulting JSON
file can be used as input for a pyDarwin model search.
Usage
write_pyDarwinOptions(
pyDarwinOptions = create_pyDarwinOptions(),
file = "options.json",
pretty = TRUE,
digits = NA,
auto_unbox = TRUE
)
Arguments
pyDarwinOptions |
A list containing the pyDarwin options to be written
to the JSON file. Default is the result of calling |
file |
Character: The path to the JSON file where the options will be written. Default is a file named "options.json" in the current working directory. |
pretty |
adds indentation whitespace to JSON output. Can be TRUE/FALSE or a number specifying the number of spaces to indent (default is 2). Use a negative number for tabs instead of spaces. |
digits |
max number of decimal digits to print for numeric values. Use |
auto_unbox |
automatically |
Value
None (invisible NULL).
Examples
# Write pyDarwin options to a JSON file
