Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

MAX estimates the maximum mean response and the dose at which it occurs.

1	MAX(object, lower = 1e-3, upper = 1000, pool = TRUE)

`object`	an object of class 'drc'.
`lower`	numeric. Lower limit for bisection method. Need to be smaller than EDx level to be calculated.
`upper`	numeric. Upper limit for bisection method. Need to be larger than EDx level to be calculated.
`pool`	logical. If TRUE curves are pooled. Otherwise they are not. This argument only works for models with independently fitted curves as specified in `drm`.

This function is only implemented for the built-in functions of class braincousens and cedergreen.

This function was used for obtaining the results on hormesis effect size reported in Cedergreen et al. (2005).

A matrix with one row per curve in the data set and two columns: one containing the dose at which the maximum occurs and one containing the corresponding maximum response.
