Multiply dose the rxode2 system in the model

Usage

multiply(amt, cmt = 1)

Arguments

amt: Numeric dose amount (for dose events) or 0 for observations. When rate > 0 this is interpreted as the total infusion amount and the infusion duration is amt / rate.
cmt: Integer compartment number (1-based) to which the dose is applied. Default is 1

Value

This function is only meaningful inside an rxode2 model; it returns NULL invisibly if called from R directly (after signaling an error).

Details

Behavior inside a model

multiply() is evaluated at every output time point (when the solver is exactly at a scheduled event time). The pushed event is inserted into the individual's event timeline and the solver visits it now or at the specified future time.

The number of events that may be pushed per individual is limited by the maxExtra argument of rxSolve(). When maxExtra = 0 (the default) there is no limit. Exceeding the limit causes an error.

Past-time pushes (where time < t) are silently ignored and counted; a warning is issued after solving.
