Table 1.
Model parameters determined by Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation of human melanoma.
| Cell Line Type | Parameters | Values | Unit | How to Obtain the Parameter’s Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HX34 cell line | α 0 | 0.263 ± 0.016 | Gy−1 | MCMC with ref. [45] (60Co γ-ray data) |
| β 0 | 0.047 ± 0.005 | Gy−2 | MCMC with ref. [45] (60Co γ-ray data) | |
| (a + c) | 8.857 ± 2.175 * | h−1 | MCMC with ref. [45] (60Co γ-ray data) | |
| M8 cell line (primary melanoma) |
α 0 | 0.612 ± 0.130 | Gy−1 | MCMC with ref. [39] (60Co γ-ray data) |
| β 0 | 0.066 ± 0.020 | Gy−2 | MCMC with ref. [39] (60Co γ-ray data) | |
| (a + c) | 8.769 ± 2.128 | h−1 | Update with ref. [39] and the (a + c) value * | |
| Mel-J cell line (metastatic melanoma) |
α 0 | 0.002 ± 0.047 | Gy−1 | MCMC with ref. [39] (60Co γ-ray data) |
| β 0 | 0.050 ± 0.009 | Gy−2 | MCMC with ref. [39] (60Co γ-ray data) | |
| (a + c) | 8.916 ± 2.126 | h−1 | Update with ref. [39] and the (a + c) value * |
*: The (a + c) value used for update is that determined from the MCMC and experimental data of HX34 cells.
