Abstract

A non-normal class of distribution (Edgeworth Series distribution) function in three and four parameters has been considered for dose-binary response relationship. This class accounts for the non-normality (expressed in terms of skewness and kurtosis) present in the relationship in addition to the usual location and scale parameters (generally considered by two parameter models). We present the maximum likelihood method of estimation of the parameters and test of probit (normal distribution) hypothesis. Edgeworth Series distribution when fitted to the data of Milicer & Szczotka (1966) showed an excellent closeness to the observed values, significant improvement over probit and logit fit (Aranda-Ordaz, 1981), and better fit compared to Prentice (1976) model.
