Measured lung function values from the body plethysmography and predicted lung function values from the mathematical models, both with their standard deviation. For k-nearest neigbours and the polynomial regression, only the best performing ks and degrees are shown (see Table 1). The p-values of the ANOVA are shown in the right column. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; VC: vital capacity; RV: residual volume; TLC: total lung capacity; kNN: k-nearest neighbour.
