Calculation of benchmark doses

Description

Calculation of benchmark doses based on continuous or qunatal dose-response data.

Usage

bmd(object, level, def = c("excess", "additional"), interval = c("delta"))

Arguments

object object of class drc
level numeric vector of response levels for which to calculate benchmark doses
def character string specifiying the definition of benchmark dose to use
interval character string specifying the type of confidence interval to use

Details

This package project just started and is still under development. The aim to provide an R package calculating the benchmark dose (BMD) and the lower limit of the corresponding 95% confidence interval (BMDL) for continuous and quantal dose-response data for a range of dose-response model based on the available definitions of the benchmark dose concepts.

Value

A matrix with two column, one containing BMD and the other containing BMDL.
