The two-phase dose-response model is a combination of log-logistic models that should be useful for describing more complex dose-response patterns.

1 2	twophase(fixed = c(NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA), names = c("b1", "c1", "d1", "e1", "b2", "d2", "e2"), fctName, fctText)

`fixed`	numeric vector specifying which parameters are fixed and at what value they are fixed. NAs are used for parameters that are not fixed.
`names`	a vector of character strings giving the names of the parameters (should not contain ":"). The default is reasonable (see under 'Usage').
`fctName`	optional character string used internally by convenience functions.
`fctText`	optional character string used internally by convenience functions.

Following Groot et al (1996) the two-phase model function is defined as follows

f(x) = c + \frac{d1-c}{1+\exp(b1(\log(x)-\log(e1)))} + \frac{d2}{1+\exp(b2(\log(x)-\log(e2)))}

For each of the two phases, the parameters have the same interpretation as in the ordinary log-logistic model.

The value returned is a list containing the nonlinear function, the self starter function and the parameter names.

The basic component in the two-phase model is the log-logistic model llogistic.
