Assuming q(C57BL/6, C3H/He) = q(C57BL/6, C3H/He), where q is the variable applied by the model to give the mortality rate, falls into four classes for the parameters explored. The maximum likelihood estimate of the model mortality rates were 0.05, 0.15, and 0.48 for q(C57BL/6, C57BL/6), q(C57BL/6, C3H/He), and q(C3H/He, C3H/He), respectively.
