Lecture 20 (Thurs., Mar. 30): Sec. 6.6 and Introduction to bioassay (not in Agresti).

HW Assignment 9, Due Thursday, April 6: Problem 6.16 Note: you fit the log-log link by fitting y1=n-y (failures) to the complementary log-log link model. Also, what is the ED50 in terms of alpha and beta in the case of the log-log link (extreme value distribution for T)?

E4. Using the complementary log-log link (Gompertz cdf), find the ED50 of the beetle data (Table 6.14). Just leave it in the log dose scale. Also give a 95% confidence interval using the program ed50.pgm. You will need to put in .3665+intercept for the intercept and the covariance matrix from the genmod output using the covb option.

Lecture 21 (Tues., April 4): Return to Ch. 4 and review GLM approach. Then fit Poisson GLM models.

HW Assignment 9, Due Tues., April 18: 4.6,4.12,4.14 (add c. using GEE with the repeated statement in genmod, but see hints), 4.18 (give theta, b(theta), and derive E(Y) and Var(Y) from b(theta))
