Abstract
We have investigated the utility of curves used to represent concentration (or dose) plotted against response (or effect). We applied crude survival data from our laboratory to demonstrate that a known hyperbolic curve compares favourably with
the conventionally used sigmoidal regression in robustness, while avoiding problems associated with the use of transforms.
