a

Calculated from individual parameter values with microconstants, t1/2=0.693/[0.5×(k+k12+k21)(k+k12+k21)2(4×k×k21)].

b

Calculated as (standard deviation/mean) × 100.

c

% RSE, relative standard error of the estimate; CV, coefficient of variation; CL, total body clearance; V1, central volume of distribution; Q, intercompartmental clearance; V2, peripheral volume of distribution; Vss, volume of distribution at steady-state; t1/2, terminal half-life; IIV, interindividual variability (associated with CL [IIVCL], with V1 [IIVV1], with Q [IIVQ], with V2 [IIVV2], with t1/2 [IIVt1/2], and with Vss [IIVVss]).

d

Proportional residual error model.
