Hi - I am fitting a probit model using glm(), and the deviance and residual degrees of freedom are different depending on whether I use a binary response vector of length 80 or a two-column matrix response (10 rows) with the number of success and failures in each column. I would think that these would be just two different ways of specifying the same model, but this does not appear to be the case.

Dear all, I have a very simple set of data and I would like to analyze them with probit analysis. dose event trial 0.0 3 15 1.1 4 15 1.3 4 15 2.0 3 15 2.2 5 15 2.8 4 15 3.7 5 15 3.9 9 15 4.4 8 15 4.8 11 15 5.9 12 15 6.8 13 15 The dose should be transformed with log10(). I use glm(y ~ log10(dose), family=binomial(link=probit)) to do probit analysis, however, I have to exclude the

Hey everyone, I've been reading an old scientific paper (well, not that old, about 15 years) and I want to verify the authors' statistical results. The paper is fairly unclear about what exactly they did, and none of the relatively simple commands I'm familiar with are producing results similar to theirs. The data is dose-response, recorded as binomial data: structure(list(X1 =

Hello all I have done some fitting of pnorm functions to dose-response data, so I could calculate EC50 values (dose where the response is 0.5). I used the nlm function for this, so I did not get any information about the confidence intervals of the fitted parameters. What would be a good way to do such a probit fit, or is there a package which I could use? Best regards Johannes Ranke

Dear all, I have a question on the dose-response estimation with clustered/ correlated binary data. I would like to estimate the hit rate for a certain test at various concentration levels. The test is used on 5 subjects, and each subject is tested 20 times. If we assume that the 100 samples are independent, the hit rate estimate is unbiased, but the variance is under-estimated. The other

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE A similar question has been posted in the past but never answered. My question is this: for probit analysis, how do you program a 95% confidence interval for the LD50 (or LC50, ec50, etc.), including a heterogeneity factor as written about in "Probit Analysis" by Finney(1971)? The heterogeneity factor comes into play through the chi-squared

I am working with Probit regression (I cannot switch to logit) can anybody help me in finding out how to obtain with R Finney's fiducial confidence intervals for the levels of the predictor (Dose) needed to produce a proportion of 50% of responses(LD50, ED50 etc.)? If the Pearson chi-square goodness-of-fit test is significant (by default), a heterogeneity factor should be used to calculate

thanks a lot Renaud. but i was interested in Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50 so to obtain comparable results with SPSS. But your reply leads me to the next question: does anybody know what is the best method (asymptotic, bootstrap etc.) for calculating confidence intervals of LD50? i could "get rid" of Finney's fiducial confidence intervals but

Hi Bianca, I hope you?ve solved your problem with SPSS and R probit analysis, but if you haven?t, I have your solution: Based on the output you?ve given, I see that your residual deviance is under-dispersed (that the ratio of residual deviance to residual deviance df does is less than 1). However, you?ve told R to treat your dispersion parameter as 1 (you did this by using the ?family =

Respected Sir/Madam, I have a question regarding calculation of LD50 (Lethal Dose) and IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) of an antimicrobial experiment. I have used a compound isolated from a plant and observed its effect on the fungus *Fusarium oxysporum* by the food poisoning method. Solutions of the compound at concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250µg/ ml were added to

Hello, all. I'm investigating the rate at which skeletal joint surfaces pass through a series of ordered stages (changes in morphology). Current statistical methods in this type of research use various logit or probit regression techniques (e.g., proportional odds logit/probit, forward/backward continuation ratio, or restricted/unrestricted cumulative probit). Data typically include the

Hello. I have yet to receive a response to my previous post, so I may have done a poor job asking the question. So, here is the general question: how can I run a run a multivariate (more than one non-independent, response variables) ordered probit regression model? I've had success doing this in the univariate case using the vglm() function in the VGAM package. For example:

You won't get mundane things like ordered probit off the shelf. (I will be very happy if someone will show

I have had some weird results using the optim() function. I wrote a probit likelihood and wanted to run it with optim() with simulated data. I did not include a gradient at first and found that optim() would not even iterate using BFGS and would only occasionally work using SANN. I programmed in the gradient and it iterates fine but the estimates it returns are wrong. The simulated data work

Hi, If you plot a cumulative histogram of a gausian distribution, using a log scale on the x-axis and a probit scale on the y-axis, you get a straight line. My question is whether it is possible in R to use a "probit" scale in a "plot". For example on the following webpage you can see an application of how I would like to use a probit scale:

Dear R-community, I am currently replicating a study and obtain mostly the same results as the author. At one point, however, I calculate marginal effects that seem to be unrealistically small. I would greatly appreciate if you could have a look at my reasoning and the code below and see if I am mistaken at one point or another. My sample contains 24535 observations, the dependent variable

G'day, My problem is I'm not sure how to extract effect sizes from a nonlinear regression model with a significant interaction term. My data sets are multiple measurements of force response to an agonist with two superimposed treatments each having two levels. This is very similar to the Ludbrook example in Venables and Ripley. The experiment is that a muscle is exposed to an agonist
