ml4c {drc} | R Documentation |
'ml4c' provides Cedergreen-Ritz-Streibig's modified logistic dose response function.
ml4c(names = c("b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), useDer = FALSE)
names |
a vector of character strings giving the names of the parameters. The default is reasonable (see above). |
useDer |
logical. If TRUE derivatives are supplied, otherwise they are not supplied. Not yet implemented! |
The model is given by the expression
f(x) = c + frac{d-c+f exp(-1/(x^{0.25}))}{1+exp(b(log(x)-log(e)))}
which is a five-parameter model.
It is a modification of the four-parameter logistic curve to take hormesis into account.
