+\subsection{Mixture models}
+Mixture models cannot be handled directly by qa, but with some extra steps they can be made to work by preestimating the most likely subpopulation for each individual and use this as a covariate instead of a mixture:
+\begin{enumerate}
+    \item Get the MIXEST for each individual either from the .phm file or in a table
+    \item Add the MIXEST values as a column in your dataset and call it SPOP
+    \item Add SPOP to \$INPUT of the model
+    \item Remove the \$MIX of the model and all \$THETAS now not longer needed
+    \item Replace all the use of MIXNUM in the abbreviated code into SPOP
+\end{enumerate}

 \subsection{SCM}
 \begin{itemize}
 	\item The SCM requires parameters defined in \verb|-parameter=P| to be associated with the corresponding ETA in the format P=f(ETA(x)), i.e. where the ETA is on the left-hand side of the equation defining the parameter. Parameters need to be defined in \$PK or \$PRED, not \$ERROR.
