'W1.2' is the two-parameter Weibull function where the lower limit is fixed at 0 and the upper limit is fixed at 1, mostly suitable for binomial/quantal responses.

  W1.2(upper = 1, fixed = c(NA, NA), names = c("b", "e"), ...)
  
  W2.2(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 to be passed from the convenience functions.

The two-parameter Weibull type 1 model is given by the expression

f(x) = \exp(-\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))).

The function is asymmetric about the inflection point, that is the parameter \exp(e).

See weibull1.

This function is for use with the function drm.
