LL.2: The two-parameter log-logistic function
In drc: Analysis of Dose-Response Curves

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

'LL.2' and 'LL2.2' provide the two-parameter log-logistic function where the lower limit is fixed at 0 and the upper limit is fixed at 1, mostly suitable for binomial/quantal responses.

  LL.2(upper = 1, fixed = c(NA, NA), names = c("b", "e"), ...)
  
  l2(upper = 1, fixed = c(NA, NA), names = c("b", "e"), ...)
  
  LL2.2(upper = 1, fixed = c(NA, NA), names = c("b", "e"), ...)

`upper`	numeric value. The fixed, upper limit in the model. Default is 1.
`fixed`	numeric vector. Specifies which parameters are fixed and at what value they are fixed. NAs for parameter that are not fixed.
`names`	a vector of character strings giving the names of the parameters. The default is reasonable.
`...`	Additional arguments (see `llogistic`).

The two-parameter log-logistic function is given by the expression

f(x) = \frac{1}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}

or in another parameterisation

f(x) = \frac{1}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-e))}

The model function is symmetric about the inflection point (e).

See llogistic.

This function is for use with the function drm.
