Question

Frambozadrine dose-response function in rats describes the long-term health impact(s) caused by frambozadrine as a function of dose in rats. This dose-response function applies only to continuous long-term exposures of frambozadrine (like in chronic studies).

Answer

It is not clear which of the plausible methods for estimating the result is the best. The discussion is ongoing. D↷

You have error(s) in your data:

Number of indices and result cells does not match

Non-parametric Bayesian estimation
