Small-Sample Quantal Response Methods for Estimating the Location Parameter for a Location-Scale Family of Dose-Response Curves
位置尺度剂量反应曲线中位置参数的小样本二元反应估计
When one uses a small number of quantal responses to estimate a location parameter in the presence of an unknown scale parameter for a logistic or normal dose-response curve, it is often possible to substantially improve upon the method of maximum likelihood. Some generalized method-of-moments estimators are proposed for an arbitrary dose-response curve known up to location and scale and a theorem is given that establishes existence and uniqueness properties. In a computer…
