Sequential Estimation of Quantal Response Curves
Abstract
SUMMARY: We suppose that it is required to estimate percentage points of a quantal response curve, and efficient use of observations is important. Strategies currently available are critically examined, including the Robbins-Monro process and Dixon and Mood’s Up and Down method. Some new alternative strategies are suggested and studied using empirical sampling on an electronic computer. The procedure recommended for estimation of 50 per cent. points has advantages of ease of operation and estimation, besides high efficiency; studies on the estimation of other percentage points were less successful. A sketch is given of problems demanding further study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
