The following plasma concentrations (in ug/ml) of a new drug were recorded in a patient. Is this data best fit by a single or double compartment model?

From my understanding, you just need to either do a single exponential fit or a more complex exponential fit to see which fits the points better and determine single vs. double compartment model.
