a

F, bioavailability; F1, fraction of dose absorbed by first-order absorption; F2, fraction of dose absorbed by zero-order absorption; tlag1, time between dosing event and initiation of first-order absorption from the gut compartment; tlag2, time between dosing event and initiation of zero-order absorption from the gut compartment; duration, duration of time that zero-order absorption occurs following the absorption lag time (tlag2); CL/F, apparent oral plasma clearance; Vc/F, apparent central volume of distribution; Vp/F, apparent peripheral volume of distribution; Q/F, apparent inter-compartmental clearance; CL/F = CLTV × (FFM/56)3/4 × factor (liters · h−1) (for subjects with normal CYP2B6 metabolizer status); Vp/F = Vp,TV × (FM/19) (liters). Proportional error, additive error, and between-subject variation are expressed as standard deviations.

b

Percent relative standard error (%RSE) was calculated from 1,000 bootstrapped parameter estimates. %RSE = 100 × (bootstrap SE/population model parameter estimate).

c

The correlations between BSV terms i and j are reported as correlation coefficients, where ρi,j = cov(ωi, ωj)/(ωi × ωj).
