| Complete profiles β | 0.100 | 0.022-0.027 | 21.4-27.3 |
| All data β | 0.100 | 0.016-0.019 | 15.7-18.6 |
| Mixed effects β | 0.094 | 0.008-0.009 | 8.8-9.7 |
a
A range of standard errors is given, since the confidence intervals on the log10 scale derived from NLME analysis were obtained by an exponential transformation of the confidence interval for the original parameter θ4 and hence are asymmetrical.
b
CV%, percent coefficient of variation.
