BSV, between‐subject variability; FIX, fixed; Hgb, hemoglobin; RBC, red blood cell; RET, reticulocyte; SEE, standard error of estimate; SQRT, square root.

a

The standard errors were obtained by selecting the S matrix feature.

b

% coefficient of variation = (square root(SQRT)(exponential (EXP)(OMEGA(N)))−1) * 100%.

c

Estimate for each RET‐related compartment.

d

Baseline RET*EXP((Age‐48)*Age effect on baseline RET) * (1 + IND*Gender effect on baseline RET); where IND = 1 for women and 0 for men; age is age at study entry; 48 is the median age in years from the phase I/IIa analysis.

e

Transit rate constant for RBC*EXP((Age‐48)*Age effect on transit rate constant on RBC); where age is age at study entry; 48 is the median age in years from the phase I/IIa analysis.

f

Covariance between ω2.

g

Standard deviation.
