About xpose4
NONMEM's veteran diagnostics package, now moving at about one fix a year
xpose4 generates diagnostic plots for nonlinear mixed-effect models fitted in NONMEM, a role it has held since 2014 when five packages were consolidated into one. The three most recent releases are a documentation cross-reference update, a change of the default table-reading method to the slower and more reliable one, and a set of file-parsing bug fixes. No new plot types appear anywhere in the window.
