The model function for the linear in log model is defined as [REMOVE_ME]f(d,θ)=E0+δlog(d+off)f(d,theta)=E0+deltalog(d+off),[REMOVEME2] where off is an offset parameter not estimated in the code.
Description
The model function for the linear in log model is defined as
where off is an offset parameter not estimated in the code.
linlog(dose, e0, delta, off =1)
Arguments
dose: Dose variable
e0: Placebo effect
delta: Slope parameter
off: Offset value to avoid problems with dose=0 (treated as a fixed value in the code)
Details
The linear in log-dose model is intended to capture concave shapes. The parameter off is not estimated in the code but set to a pre-specified value.
Returns
Response value
