Let S(t) and R(t) represent the number of cells that are sensitive or resistant to imatinib. During imatinib exposure, assume zero growth and a death rate δ for sensitive cells, µ << δ as the rate at which sensitive cells mutate to resistance, and no death and a growth rate β for resistant cells. The two cell populations then follow: β µ S R δ Nested in optimizations performed to estimate the parameters β, δ and µ, these equations were integrated numerically using lsoda of the R package odesolve. The parameters were estimated in exponentiated forms to constrain them and their confidence intervals (CIs) to positive values (see Table 1). CIs were estimated from Hessians (matrices of second derivates) of the SSEs (sum of squared errors) evaluated at the optimum (minimum SSE) using the function optim in R: Hessians were divided by 2, inverted, multiplied by SSE/(N - P) where N and P are the number of data points and parameters, and square roots of the main diagonal were then be multiplied by 1.96 to form the 95% Wald CI (in Table 1).
