Data overview
To load a dataset in Monolix, follow these steps:
- Create a new project and load the data set file - Dataset that needs formatting: If needed, format your data first by selecting ‘Browse’ under ‘Format data’ to use the data formatting module which allows you to: - to handle several header lines 
- merge several observation columns into one 
- add censoring information based on tags in the observation column 
- add treatment information manually or from external files 
- add more columns such as covariates from an external file 
 
- Already formatted dataset: If the data is already in the right format, load it directly by selecting ‘Browse’ under ‘Data file’ 
 
If the dataset does not follow a formatting rule, the dataset will not be accepted, but errors will guide you to find what is missing and could be added by data formatting.
- Column tagging : tag the columns not recognized automatically to indicate their type and click on ACCEPT. 
- Specifying observation types: specify if the observation is of type continuous, count/categorical or event. 
- Filters: If needed, filter your dataset to use only part of it in the Filters tab 
- Explore: The interpreted dataset is displayed in Data, and Plots and covariate statistics are generated. 
To use a dataset from a PKanalix project, or to use simulations from a Simulx project, you can directly import or export the PKanalix/Simulx project which will automatically define the dataset in the Data tab.
