An Empirical Comparison Of Confidence Interval For Relative Potency, Catherine H. Lung Jan 1976

An Empirical Comparison Of Confidence Interval For Relative Potency, Catherine H. Lung

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Biological assays are essentially biological experiments. To compare the potencies of treatments on an agreed scale is generally of more interest than to compare the magnitude of effects of different treatments.

The relative potency, R = a/b, is defined as the ratio of the means of two equally effective doses where a is the mean of A and bis the mean of B. It is an estimate of the potency of one preparation, A, relative to that of the other, B.

Different procedures have been proposed to obtain the values of R and its confidence interval. Three of the these …

The analysis of variance was created by Ronald Fisher in 1923. It is most widely used and basically useful approach to study differences among treatment averages.
