Estimates the marginal benchmark dose, conditional on the estimated variance components.
BMDmarg(object, respLev, interval = c("none", "delta", "fls", "tfls"), clevel = NULL, level = ifelse(!(interval == "none"), 0.95, NULL), bmd = c("additional", "extra"), background = 0.05, nGQ = 5, rfinterval = c(0, 1000), display = TRUE, ...)
| object | an medrc object |
|---|---|
| respLev | a numeric vector containing the benchmark response levels |
| interval | character string specifying the type of confidence intervals to be supplied. |
| clevel | character string specifying the curve id in case on estimates for a specific curve or compound is requested. By default estimates are shown for all curves. |
| level | confidence level, default at 0.95 |
| bmd | benchmark dose estimation (smallest dose resulting in a probability of an abnormal response) |
| background | probability of an abnormal response |
| nGQ | integer. Specifies the number nof nodes for Gauss-Hermite quadrature. |
| rfinterval | numeric vector. Interval for root finding (uniroot) to search for ED values. |
| display | logical. If TRUE results are displayed; otherwise they are not. |
| ... | additional arguments. |
