Threshold Models for Combination Data from Reproductive and Developmental Experiments
生殖与发育实验中联合暴露数据的阈值模型
In risk assessment, thresholds are generally believed to exist for toxic reproductive and developmental agents. Therefore, dose combinations exist below the threshold where the response is not distinguishable from background and above the threshold where a dose-response trend results. Because data from combination experiments are more reflective of human exposure to environmental agents, threshold models that incorporate the effect of interactions among these agents are…
