Hierarchical Bayesian estimation of covariate effects on airway and alveolar nitric oxide
Abstract Exhaled breath biomarkers are an important emerging field. The fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a marker of airway inflammation with clinical and epidemiological applications (e.g., air pollution health effects studies). Systems of differential equations describe F...

Abstract Exhaled breath biomarkers are an important emerging field.
