Abstract

Sigmoidal models are frequently considered for the description of the dose-response relationship in dose-finding studies. Designs for these models depend on unknown parameters, which enter the model in a nonlinear way. A particular problem in frequentistic analysis using the sigmoid EMax model is the estimation of the Hill parameter, which may be problematic to estimate. The estimation problem for the Hill parameter and a model-based design approach to limit this problem will be examined in this paper.
