Abstract:

In agricultural crop product discovery, in vivo bioassay experiments are used to identify promising compounds for further research. A replicated dose-response of commercial crop protection products is assayed and used to monitor the bioassay quality. The activity of these compounds on the test organisms is characterized by a dose-response curve measured from the bioassay. If undesirable conditions in the bioassay arise then a bioassay monitoring procedure is needed to quickly detect such issues. In this paper we illustrate a proposed nonlinear profile monitoring method to monitor the variability of multiple assays, the adequacy of the dose-response model chosen, and the estimated dose-response curves for aberrant cases in the presence of heteroscedasticity. We illustrate these methods with in vivo bioassay data collected over one year from DuPont Crop Protection.
