  1. The zero-dose value P 0 shows a considerable variation among the donors ranging from 0.5 to 0.8, which is roughly three times the typical width of a confidence interval. In contrast, the exponential decay parameter has much less variation in the range 0.18 to 0.31, which amounts only to a single width of the typical confidence intervals.
