Description

A single dose-response curve.

Usage

data(FA)

Details

The data are part of a study to investigate the joint action of phenolic acids on root growth inhibition of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L). MM is the concentration of ferulic acid in mM, and MEANLR is the root length of perennial ryegrass.

### Fitting a four-parameter logistic regression 
### with user-defined parameter names
#model1 <- multdrc(MEANLR~MM, data=FA, 
#fct = l4(names = c("Slope", "Lower Limit", "Upper Limit", "ED50")))
#
### Getting a summary of the fit
#summary(model1)
#
#
### Fitting a model with very small dose values
#FA2 <- FA
#FA2[,2] <- FA2[,2]/1e6
#model2 <- multdrc(MEANLR~MM, data=FA2)
#
### Removing the model objects
#rm(model1, model2, FA2)
