Fit performances of growth models for the lung data.

Models were ranked in ascending order of the RMSE, defined by expression (13). For each metric, indicated are the mean value (among all animals) and in parenthesis the minimal and maximal values (not reported for AICc as they were redundant with the range of AIC). When reported, value inside brackets is the rank of the model for the underlying metric. The model ranking first is highlighted in bold. For animal j, is the minimal value of the objective that was minimized in the individual fits approach (see (8)), divided by the number of time points Ij, and represents the variance of the weighted residuals. AIC and AICc are defined in (11) and (12), AICcpop is the AICc resulting from the mixed-effect estimation (see Materials and Methods) and R2 is defined in (14). Values reported in the p column are percentages of animals for which Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality of residuals was not rejected at the significance level of 0.05. # = number of parameters. J = 20 animals.
