Abstract
Two univariate methods of estimation in parabolic bioassays are reviewed, and a new test for the assumption of “parallelism” is proposed. One method is extended into a multivariate situation based on a general linear model which generates a point estimator and approximate confidence limits for the associated relative potency.
