Bayesian Bootstrap Procedures in Dose-Response Assessment
Dale Bowman
This article presents Bayesian bootstrap techniques for risk
assessment in bioassays and developmental studies. The Bayesian
bootstrap allows for the simulation of a posterior distribution and
flexibility in the introduction of prior assumptions. Applications
are made to datasets from a bioassay experiment, a clinical trial,
and a developmental toxicity
study.
Key Words
Bioassay; Developmental studies; Dirichlet distribution; Risk assessment.
