Toxicity Data Statistical Analysis

Preparation for IC25 and IC50 Estimation As with all statistical analysis of toxicity data, it is critical to visualize the experimental data distribution through graphing. A minimum of three replicates is necessary in a toxicity test to enable the calculation of IC25 and IC50. ToxGenie automatically identifies user-input data and selects the optimal model from […]

Logit Logit is the logistic equivalent deviate. It is a specific transformation of data that can be applied to the proportions of test organisms affected in a quantal toxicity test, usually resulting in a straightening of the sigmoid curve of effect. To obtain a logit, the proportion of organisms affected (p) at a given concentration

Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is an objective technique for selecting parameter values in a model by maximizing the likelihood of observing the collected data under the chosen model. In quantal toxicity tests, the number of test organisms affected at a given concentration follows a binomial distribution. The parameters of this binomial

Trimmed Spearman-Kärber Method The Trimmed Spearman-Kärber Method (S-K) is fundamentally the same as the untrimmed Spearman-Kärber Method. Trimming is an attempt to correct for non-symmetry in the tails of the dose-effect curve, performed by deleting extreme values and using central data. This can be useful when there are unexpectedly large proportions of organisms in either

Spearman-Kärber Method Introduced by Hamilton et al. (1977) for environmental toxicity testing, the Spearman-Kärber Method (S-K) is recommended for analyzing quantal data when (a) there is only one partial effect and (b) both 0% and 100% effects are included. In other words, this method is used when probit/logit methods are not applicable, i.e., when the
