✦ Synopsis

This program for desktop computer processes general bioassay data where responses are of the form: z = kl k2 [(x -k&l, Designed for the Hewlett-Packard 9800 computer system with specific application to somatomedin bioassays, the program contains options for manual or paper tape data entry, for variable or constant amount of substrate, for log-log or semi-log transformation, and for computer plotting of dose-response lines.

Parallel-line analysis includes calculation of index of precision (A), F (linearity), t (slope), t (parallelity), potency and fiducial limits. This convenient system allows easy examination of the full dose-response lines and rapid selection of the portions appropriate for analysis, which can then proceed without tedious reentry of raw data.
