Dose-response analysis using spreadsheets.
The task of fitting dose-response models to experimental data can be performed using a spreadsheet with a built-in optimization engine. This paper shows how the task of point and interval estimation can be performed using Microsoft EXCEL. A case study is presented on the carcinogenic dose-response behavior of chloroform.
