The 'BC.4' and 'BC.5' logistical models provide Brain-Cousens' modified logistical models to describe u-shaped hormesis. This model was extracted from the 'drc' package.

The model function for the Brain-Cousens model (Brain and Cousens, 1989) is
y = c + \frac{d-c+fx}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}
and it is a five-parameter model, obtained by extending the four-parameter log-logistic model (LL.4 to take into account inverse u-shaped hormesis effects. Fixing the lower limit at 0 yields the four-parameter model
y = 0 + \frac{d-0+fx}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}
used by van Ewijk and Hoekstra (1993).
The function returns a list containing the coefficients and their respective values of p; statistical parameters such as AIC, BIC, pseudo-R2, RMSE (root mean square error); largest and smallest estimated value and the graph using ggplot2 with the equation automatically.
