Description

'CRS.5a', 'CRS.5b' and 'CRS.5c' provide the Cedergreen-Ritz-Streibig modified log-logistic model for describing (inverse u-shaped or j-shaped) hormesis.

'UCRS.5a', 'UCRS.5b' and 'UCRS.5c' provide the Cedergreen-Ritz-Streibig modified log-logistic model for describing u-shaped hormesis.

  CRS.5a(names = c("b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), ...)

  UCRS.5a(names = c("b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), ...)

Arguments

names

a vector of character strings giving the names of the parameters.

...

additional arguments to be passed from the convenience functions.

Details

The model function for inverse u-shaped hormetic patterns is

f(x) = c + \frac{d-c+f \exp(-1/x^{α})}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}

,

which is a five-parameter model. It is a modification of the four-parameter log-logistic curve to take hormesis into account.

The parameters have the following interpretations

The model function for u-shaped hormetic patterns is

f(x) = c + d - \frac{d-c+f \exp(-1/x^{α})}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}

This model also simplifies to the four-parameter log-logistic model in case f=0 (in a slightly different parameterization as compared to the one used in LL.4).

The models denoted a,b,c are obtained by fixing the alpha parameter at 1, 0.5 and 0.25, respectively.

Value

See cedergreen.

Note

This function is for use with the function drm.
