Estimation of the median lethal dose when responses within a little are correlated.
In the analysis of mortality experiments on neonatal animals, the presence of litter effects may prevent the use of probit analysis. This communication presents a method for estimating the median lethal dose, based on a modification of the beta-binomial distribution.
