Abstract:

There is considerable interest in binary response experiments to learn about the sensitivity of a new explosive as a function of some stimulus, or the toxicity of a drug administered at different dose levels. The traditional method for selecting stimulus levels for explosives is the Langlie One-Shot Method which seeks out the stimulus level that is a median for the underlying cumulative distribution function. We provide a modification to this method to seek out the stimulus level for any quantile of interest from the underlying cumulative distribution function. A comparison of the modified method along with existing methods using Monte Carlo simulation is presented.
