Dose-response analysis using spreadsheets

Risk Anal. 1994 Dec;14(6):1097-100. doi: 10.1111/j.1539-6924.1994.tb00081.x.

Abstract

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.
