The Probitfit Program to Analyze Data from Laser Damage Threshold Studies

Abstract

The ProbitFit program has been developed at the US Army Medical Research Detachment to analyze dose-response data from laser damage threshold experiments. ProbitFit expands on the capabilities of the Probit program, developed at the USAF Armstrong Laboratory, while producing identical results when used to analyze the same data sets. ProbitFit implements the iterative probit analysis procedure developed by Finney. Probit analysis and the fitting procedure used by ProbitFit is described. The source code implementing the fitting routines as well as the procedures used to calculate the ED[P] values and associated fiducial limits are contained in an appendix.
