title: Monotone smoothing with application to dose-response curves and the assessment of synergism.
abstract: A spline-based procedure for monotone curve smoothing is proposed and is illustrated by application to dose-response curves. It is then shown how such smoothing can be applied to assess possible synergism or antagonism of two drugs.
