Dose response models data formats

Dose response models are specified using three tables: the dose response models table holds the dose response model definitions (id, name, description) and other information about the dose response models. The dose response model benchmark doses table records the benchmark doses and (optionally) the model parameters for specific substances and covariates. The dose response model benchmark doses uncertainty table records results from bootstrap runs for the benchmark doses per substance/covariate combination.

Dose response models

Each dose response model has a unique id, a name (optional), and description (optional). Also, each dose response model is associated with a specific dose response experiment (idExperiment) from which the data used to create the model is obtained, a response (idResponse), one or more substances, and, optionally, specific covariates considered by the dose response model. The combination of the benchmark response type and the associated value define the benchmark response of the model. The dose unit specifies the unit used for the doses, and if applicable, the model equation can be specified.

Accepted table names: DoseResponseModels, DoseResponseModel.

Optionally, if the model equation of the dose response model has been specified in the dose response models table, the model parameter values for this specific substance/covariate can be specified here.
