No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Levels in Severity Data
毒性严重程度数据中的未观察到不良反应剂量水平
Toxicity data are often categorized by severity of response and dose level with the assumption that there is a tolerated dose below which there is no toxicity. For data from a controlled experiment, the largest observed dose at or below the tolerated dose is called the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL). The problem of identifying the NOAEL can be viewed statistically as estimating the maximal observed dose for which there is no increased severity or frequency of toxic…
