aADVAN2 is a one-compartment linear model with first order absorption, ADVAN3 is a two compartment linear model; ADVAN4 is a two compartment linear model with first order absorption; and ADVAN11 is a three compartment linear model

bTRANS2 with ADVAN2 specifies model options for clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V); TRANS4 with ADVAN3 or ADVAN4 specifies model options for CL, central volume (V1), inter-compartment clearance (Q), and peripheral volume (V2); and TRANS4 with ADVAN11 specifies model options for CL, V1, first inter-compartment clearance (Q1), V2, second inter-compartment clearance (Q2), and third compartment volume (V3)
