Values given are mean±SD.

a

Parameters related to hyperplasia. Maximum-likelihood values shown in parentheses were used as the initial cell number Inline graphic and the cell-number increasing rate Inline graphic in the model.

b

Parameters related to hypertrophy. The values are obtained from the average result of four ensembles; each ensemble corresponding to one control mouse has a different initial cell-size distribution for the model evolution. Note that the average cost (or error) Inline graphic, obtained from each ensemble, is considered with its Boltzmann factor Inline graphic as a weight for the ensemble average.
