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
b: Not direct interpretation
c: Lower horizontal asymptote
d: Upper horizontal asymptote
e: Not direct interpretation
f: Size of the hormesis effect: the larger the value the larger is the hormesis effect. f=0 corresponds to no hormesis effect and the resulting model is the four-parameter log-logistic model. This parameter should be positive in order for the model to make sense.
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.

lower limit (the parameter c) fixed at 0 (one parameter less to be estimated).
