a

Assessed by nonparametric bootstrap method; n = 800 iterations. Runs without successful conclusion (“MINIMIZATION SUCCESSFUL”) were omitted from analysis (n = 52); 748 runs in total are included.

b

Values in parentheses represent percentages of the total, with the exception of the value in parentheses for ηCL/F ∼ ηV/F.

c

RSE, relative standard error.

d

CI, confidence interval.
