Table 3 Post-flight in-vivo poisson regression parameter estimates (“Est.”) and standard errors (“SE”) based on all post-flight observations with BFO doses ranging from 0.01 to 0.04 Gy as well as baseline pre-flight observations. Besides age and gender, predictors in this model included predicted values of baseline random subject-specific perturbations to CAR (w0i) as well as predicted values of subject-specific perturbations to radiosensitivity (w1ixij).
