AW: linear relation

Hello, thank you for your answers. My problem is, that I tried to fit an inverse sigmoidal model, but I just have few concentrations in the array around IC50. Physiologically an EMAX of 1 does not make sense in my case. But now I think a linear model wouldn't help me either. Von: Rik Schoemaker [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14.

Why not stick to the usual solutions: INH=1-C1/(EC50+C1) or INH=1-(C1**H/(EC50**H+C1**H)) That way you avoid the nasty break at 1 and of course you don't need conditions... Good luck! Rik _____

SLOPE should be estimated with variability. How can I make sure that INH stays between 0 and 1? I wrote it like this IF ((SLOPE*C1).GT.1) THEN INH=0 ENDIF IF ((SLOPE*C1).LT.0) THEN INH=1 ENDIF IF((SLOPE*C1).LE.1.AND.(SLOPE*C1).GE.0) THEN INH=1-SLOPE*C1 ENDIF , but I think it is not optimal to write it in conditions. Does anyone know a better way to write this?
