(a) The lag time estimation for a V-shaped log count curve leads to an ill-conditioned problem: only a correlation between the (r0, lag) pairs can be identified, not the parameters individually. (b) Assuming that the dying subpopulation follows linear kinetics, the flatter the shape of the curve around its minimum, the more robust is the estimation for r0 and lag.
