sigEmax: Sigmoid Emax Model

In MCPMod: Design and Analysis of Dose-Finding Studies

Description

The model function for the sigmoid Emax model is defined as

f(d,theta)=E0+Emax d^h/(ED50^h + d^h).

Usage

sigEmax(dose, e0, eMax, ed50, h)

Arguments

dose	Dose variable
e0	Placebo effect
eMax	Asymptotic maximum change from placebo effect
ed50	Dose giving half of the asymptotic maximum effect
h	Hill parameter, determining the steepness of the model at the ED50

Details

The sigmoid Emax model is an extension of the (hyperbolic) Emax model by introducing an additional parameter h, that determines the steepness of the curve at the ed50 value. The sigmoid Emax model describes monotonic, sigmoid dose-response relationships.

Value

Response value
