Testing for central mixtures of compartment model parameters.
I discuss alternatives to the one compartment model, delta Yt = alpha + beta exp(- gamma t). Instead of comparing the one and two compartment models, I derive statistics for testing mixtures of the parameters (beta, gamma) in the one compartment model. I apply the proposed methods to the problem of hydrogen clearance in blood flow measurement and to vanadium depuration data.
