  bread.drc(x, ...)
  
  estfun.drc(x, ...)

`x`	object of class `drc`
`...`	additional arguments. At the moment none are supported

The details are provided by Zeileis (2006).

The unscaled hessian is returned by bread.drc, whereas estfun.drc returns the estimating function evaluated at the data and the parameter estimates.

By default no clustering is assumed, corresponding to robust standard errors under independence. If a cluster variable is provided the log likelihood contributions provided by estfun are summed up for each cluster.
