 MEANING: TABLE_QUANT program
 CONTEXT: NONMEM run

 The  utility  program table_quant transforms importance sampling (SIR)
 data in the NONMEM raw output file.  Such data are  present  when  the
 option  SIRSAMPLE  of  the $COVARIANCE record is used.  (See NONMEM 74
 Guide, "Importance Sampling of the Variance-Covariance of  the  Param-
 eter  Estimates").  Table_quant produces a table file with frequencies
 and cumulative values.

 USAGE:
 table_quant inputfile outputfile delimiter start end

 Inputfile name should be the NONMEM file (root.ext).
 Requred

 The results are written to outputfile, which may be  called  root.qnt.
 (This  name is needed if R script quantplot.R, or Splus script, quant-
 plot.ssc, available in Pdx-Pop 5.2, is used to view histograms and cdf
 plots  from  these  result files.)  The output file contains, for each
 item, the sorted value, its frequency (freq), and its  quantile  posi-
 tion or cumulative probability (cum).

 Required.

 Delimiter  is  that  used  in  the input file (s for space, t for tab,
 comma default)

 start and end are the range of iterations to be quantized (default  is
 all non-negative iterations).

 Table_quant  uses  the  WEIGHT  values  record  by NONMEM in the file.
 Bayes results, which do not have the WEIGHT column, can  be  processed
 with  this  utility, but the weight is then assumed constant among all
 samples.

 The output file will contain for each item, the sorted value, its fre-
 quency  (freq),  and  its  quantile position or cumulative probability
 (cum).  Also, make sure the input file  contains  just  one  table  of
 information.

 See also table_resample (tabresamp) program.
