Experimental designs for mixtures of chemicals along fixed ratio rays.
Experimental design is important when studying mixtures/combinations of chemicals. The traditional approach for studying mixtures/combinations of multiple chemicals involves response surface methodology, often supported by factorial designs. Although such an approach permits the investigation of both the effects of individual chemicals and their interactions, the number of design points needed ...
متن کاملD-optimal experimental designs to test for departure from additivity in a fixed-ratio mixture ray.
Traditional factorial designs for evaluating interactions among chemicals in a mixture may be prohibitive when the number of chemicals is large. Using a mixture of chemicals with a fixed ratio (mixture ray) results in an economical design that allows estimation of additivity or nonadditive interaction for a mixture of interest. This methodology is extended easily to a mixture with a large numbe...
متن کاملA novel flexible approach for evaluating fixed ratio mixtures of full and partial agonists.
Assessing for interactions among chemicals in a mixture involves the comparison of actual mixture responses to those predicted under the assumption of zero interaction (additivity), based on individual chemical dose-response data. However, current statistical methods do not adequately account for differences in the shapes of the dose-response curves of the individual mixture components, as occu...
متن کاملIncrease-along-rays property for vector functions
In this paper we extend to the vector case the notion of increasing along rays function. The proposed definition is given by means of a nonlinear scalarization through the so-called oriented distance function from a point to a set. We prove that the considered class of functions enjoys properties similar to those holding in the scalar case, with regard to optimization problems, relations with (...
متن کاملPredictive Toxicology and Mixtures of Chemicals
All predictive toxicological models concern individual chemicals. An exposure to a mixture of chemicals is the reality, however. Toxicity of an individual chemical itself or in a mixture with other chemicals may significantly differ. The presentation shows our attempt to find a suitable model for a prediction of acute toxicity of binary mixtures of organic chemicals. We have suggested a molar r...
