Abstract:

Recently, the five-parameter-logistic function (5PL) has been increasing used to model a dose-response curve. The 5PL takes into the curve asymmetry into consideration to overcome the drawback of currently widely used four-parameter-logistic (4PL) function, which could lead to wrong estimates of the important parameters, to poor characterization of the pharmacological pathways and the mechanisms, and to wrong inference of drug-receptor interactions. However, the currently used 5PL form does not have good practical interpretation of these parameters comparing to the currently used 4PL. In this talk, we will re-parameterize the 5PL to match the good parameter interpretations of the 4PL. The re-parameterized new 5PL has better practical interpretations and statistical properties.
