Five-parameter Hill model with quadratic component, gradient, starting values, and back-calculation functions

Description

Five-parameter Hill model with quadratic component, gradient, starting values, and back-calculation functions.

Usage

 
        hill_quad_model(theta, x)

Arguments

theta	Vector of five parameters: (A, B, a, b, c). See details.
x	Vector of concentrations for the five-parameter Hill model with quadratic component.

Details

The five parameter Hill model with quadratic component is given by:

y = A + \frac{B-A}{( 1 + \exp( -(a + bz + cz^2) ) )}\text{, where }z = \log(x)

A =\min y ( minimum y value), B = \max y (maximum y value), (a, b, c) are quadratic parameters for \log(x).

Notes:

1. If c = 0, this model is equivalent to the four-parameter Hill model (hill.model).

2. The ic50 is defined such that a + bz + cz^2 = 0. If the roots of the quadratic equation are real, then the ic50 is given by \tfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac }}{2a}.

Value

Let N = length(x). Then

• hill_quad_model(theta, x) returns a numeric vector of length N.

• attr(hill_quad_model, "gradient")(theta, x) returns an N x 5 matrix.

• attr(hill_quad_model, "start")(x, y) returns a numeric vector of length 5 with starting values for (A, B, a, b, c).

  If the quadratic roots are real-valued, attr(hill_quad_model, "backsolve")(theta, y) returns a numeric vector of length=2.
