BSV was calculated from expω21 and expressed as the CV%. Proportional RUV is expressed as CV%, and additive RUV as SD. RSE is expressed as CV% (RSE of BSV, IOV and RUV is expressed in term of SD). Shrinkage of BSV, IOV and RUV is presented in square brackets. CI, confidence interval; BSV, between‐subject variability; CV%, coefficient of variation; dox, doxorubicin; doxo'ol, doxorubicinol; IOV, interoccasion variability; RSE, relative standard error; RUV, random unexplained variability; SD, standard deviation.
