Estimates of the viral clearance rate, $\widehat{c}$ and the infected cell loss rate, $\widehat{\delta }$, obtained using the CE model. Dashed lines indicate the true values of c (9.9 day⁻¹) and δ (0.32 day⁻¹). The horizontal lines within the boxes denote the medians (c = 10.1 day⁻¹ and δ = 0 day⁻¹, which for δ is the same as the minimal value), while the lines at the bottom and top of the boxes show 25 and 75% quartiles, respectively. The whiskers show the 10 and 90% percentiles. Squares in the boxes denote the estimated averages (c = 13.2 day⁻¹ and δ = 0.04 day⁻¹).
