In our delving into pharmacokinetic models, we were
pointed to NONMEM. In adding ODE solvers to Stan, we want
to be able to do a lot of what NONMEM does but in a much
more general model setting.

Here's their blurb:

NONMEM� is a nonlinear mixed effects modeling tool used in population pharmacokinetic
� pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis. The software was developed by the NONMEM� Project
Group at the University of California, San Francisco. The PK/PD modeling community
has relied on the use of the NONMEM� statistical software for over 30 years.

Despite the tackiness of their use of �, I really like their
no-BS sell sheet (Andrew, please browse for both its style
and its relation to our ODE project):

We could recruit a marketing student and produce
something like this for Stan! Not that I want to sell it
for money, just sell what it can do to potential users and
funders.

Hmmm, who could we find who could make a flashy "sell sheet"? Maybe that guy from Chicago who was offering to build us a web interface?

Everyone (by which I mean all the people who do) calls them "sell sheets".

Web interfaces are often largely computer programming and
user interface design, whereas sell sheets are more about
typography and getting the right message across.

If we could do the writing, we won't need much help other
than some graphics.

Perhaps we can discuss topics for the sell sheet at next Tuesday's stan meeting. Once we have a list of bullet points and some graphs, we can put something together!
