Gibbs sampling in DP-based nonlinear mixed effects models

This article uses several approaches to deal with the difficulty involved in evaluating the intractable integral when using Gibbs sampling to estimate the nonlinear mixed effects model (NLMM) based on the Dirichlet process (DP). For illustration, we applied these approaches to real data and simulations. Comparisons are then made between these methods with respect to estimation accuracy and computing efficiency
