In Xeva: Analysis of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) data

##----- TGI -----
#TGI = (VC - VT)/(VC0 - VT0)
#where VC and VT are the median of control and treated growth curve respectively
#at the end of the study. VC0 and VT0 indicate the initial tumor volume for
#control and treated growth curve respectively.
#
#
#' tumor growth inhibition (TGI)
#' Computes the tumor growth inhibition (TGI) between two time-volume curves
#'
#' @param contr.volume Volume vector for control
#' @param treat.volume Volume vector for treatment
#' @return Returns batch response object
