a — Delay model used: exponential (exp), fixed (δ), normal (N), and lognormal (lnN).

b — Using the fixed-delay model, virus titer is zero at all times prior to the appearance of infectious cells such that the SSR measured in log scale cannot be computed.

c — 95% confidence intervals are given in brackets for the normal and lognormal fits.
