nlmixr2scm: Stepwise Covariate Modeling for 'nlmixr2' Models

Stepwise covariate modeling (SCM) for nonlinear mixed-effects models fitted with 'nlmixr2'. Forward inclusion and backward elimination are driven by likelihood-ratio tests, and the covariate terms are generated inside the model body, so continuous covariates are centered and categorical covariates expanded into indicator columns without editing the model by hand. Candidate fits can be cached and resumed, fitted in parallel, and reviewed through per-step and all-candidate summary tables. The approach follows Jonsson and Karlsson (1998) <doi:10.1023/A:1011970125687>, and the implementation in 'Perl-speaks-NONMEM' described by Lindbom, Ribbing and Jonsson (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2003.11.003>.
