Figure 5

Box and whisker plots of unsigned prediction errors arising from SMM, RMM and IMM Bayesian analysis of (a) gentamicin and (b) vancomycin data collected from cardiothoracic surgery patients

Key: SMM simple multiple model Bayesian analysis, RMM richer data multiple model, IMM interacting multiple model with fixed probabilities of 0.0001%, 3% and 10% and a range of 0.0001–50%; means are indicated by solid circles

Footnote: The IMM 3% probability setting gave the most precise and the SMM setting the least precise estimates of both gentamicin and vancomycin concentrations. The 0.0001–50% probability range was the least precise IMM setting for both antibiotics.
