I discuss alternatives to the one compartment model, ℰ Y t = α + β exp(−γ t ). Instead of comparing the one and two compartment models, I derive statistics for testing mixtures of the parameters (β, γ) 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.
