Parameters of the model for delay effects (see Eqs. 9 and 10) estimated for four blood lines. Alternative models are shown for neutrophiles and erythrocytes

	Blood count distributions	Mixing distribution	μ0 [C]1	Scale2 [C]1	α y Gy−1	kW	λW3 (y)	Mean (y)	Std (y)
Lymphocytes	Lognormal	Exponential	2.26	0.35	−0.73	1	0.017	0.017	0.017
Neutrophiles	Lognormal	Exponential	3.74	0.36	−0.68	1	0.72	0.72	0.72
Platelets	Gamma	Weibull	245.6	15.1	−1.47	1.69	1.13	1.01	0.61
		Uniform	245.7	15.1	−1.46		2.00	1.00	0.58
Erythrocytes	Normal	Weibull	4.30	0.40	−0.42	2.14	1.09	0.96	0.47
		Uniform	4.30	0.40	−0.42		1.92	0.96	0.55

¹[L]=[N]=[P]= 10⁹cells/mL and [R]= 10¹²cells/mL

²Scale parameter is blood count distribution specific: σ for normal and gamma distributions and σ̃ for a lognormal distribution

³λ_W for different mixing distributions is defined by Eq. (10).
