limdil {statmod} | R Documentation |
Fit single-hit model to a dilution series using complementary log-log binomial regression.
limdil(response,dose,tested=rep(1,length(response)),observed=FALSE,confidence=0.95,test.unit.slope=FALSE)
response |
numeric of integer counts of positive cases, out of tested trials |
dose |
numeric vector of expected number of cells in assay |
tested |
numeric vector giving number of trials at each dose |
observed |
logical, is the actual number of cells observed? |
confidence |
numeric level for confidence interval |
test.unit.slope |
logical, should the adequacy of the single-hit model be tested? |
A binomial generalized linear model is fitted with cloglog link and offset log(dose)
.
If observed=FALSE
, a classic Poisson single-hit model is assumed, and the Poisson frequency of the stem cells is the exp
of the intercept.
If observed=TRUE
, the values of dose
are treated as actual cell numbers rather than expected values.
This doesn't changed the generalized linear model fit but changes how the frequencies are extracted from the estimated model coefficient.
List with components
CI |
numeric vector giving estimated frequency and lower and upper limits of Wald confidence interval |
test.unit.slope |
numeric vector giving chisquare likelihood ratio test statistic and p-value for testing the slope of the offset equal to one |
