Predictive performance of carbamazepine population pharmacokinetic models in a group of patients (n = 30). (95% confidence interval).

	Regression	Bayesian
Basic model
MPE (mg l−1)	−0.57	−0.66
	(−1.57–0.43)	(−1.55–0.23)
RMSE (mg l−1)	3.59	3.2
	(2.41–4.47)	(2.03–4.04)
Population covariate model
MPE (mg l−1)	−0.31	0.23
	(−1.33–0.71)	(−0.28–0.74)
RMSE (mg l−1)	2.69	1.65
	(1.51–3.49)	(1.33–1.91)

MPE = mean prediction error; RMSE = root mean squared error.
