D-optimal Approximate Design for Binary Regression and Quantal Response in Toxicology Studies [PDF]
We provide a systematic treatment of $D$-optimal design for binary regression and quantal response models in toxicology studies. For the two-parameter case, we provide an analytical equation (WC equation) for computing the $D$-optimal design quickly and when analytical solution is not available, we apply particle swarm optimization to solve for the $D$-

Note on PI and Szeged indices [PDF]
In theoretical chemistry molecular structure descriptors are used for modeling physico-chemical, pharmacological, toxicologic, biological and other properties of chemical compounds. In this paper we study distance-based graph invariants and present some improved and corrected sharp inequalities for PI, vertex PI, Szeged and edge Szeged topological ...

Statistical inference under order restrictions on both rows and columns of a matrix, with an application in toxicology [PDF]
We present a general methodology for performing statistical inference on the components of a real-valued matrix parameter for which rows and columns are subject to order restrictions. The proposed estimation procedure is based on an iterative algorithm developed by Dykstra and Robertson (1982) for simple order restriction on rows and columns of a ...

Co-exposure of the organic nanomaterial fullerene C60 with benzo[a]pyrene in Danio rerio (zebrafish) hepatocytes: Evidence of toxicological interactions [PDF]
Compounds from the nanotechnology industry, such as carbon-based nanomaterials, are strong candidates to contaminate aquatic environments because their production and disposal have exponentially grown in a few years.

Paradigm study on risk assessment methodology of oligomers in food contact materials
Risk assessment of non-intentionally added substances, including oligomers, in food contact materials is of great importance for ensuring food safety. Research articles and risk assessment reports at home and abroad were collected to analyze the sources ...

The R package predint: Prediction intervals for overdispersed binomial and Poisson data or based on linear random effects models in R [PDF]
A prediction interval is a statistical interval that should encompass one (or more) future observation(s) with a given coverage probability and is usually computed based on historical control data. The application of prediction intervals is discussed in many fields of research, such as toxicology, pre-clinical statistics, engineering, assay validation ...

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the major reasons for termination of drug development. Due to the importance of predicting DILI in early phases of drug development, diverse in silico models have been developed to filter out DILI-causing ...
