Hello, I am trying to fit my Elisa results (absorbance readings) to a standard curve. To create the standard curve model, I performed a 4-parameter logistic fit using the 'drc' package (ExpectedConc~Absorbance). This gave me the following: > FourP
A 'drc' model. Call: drm(formula = Response ~ Expected, data = SC, fct = LL.4()) Coefficients: b:(Intercept) c:(Intercept) d:(Intercept) e:(Intercept) 1.336 6.236 85.521 59.598 > summary(FourP) Model fitted: Log-logistic (ED50 as parameter) (4 parms) Parameter estimates: Estimate Std. Error t-value p-value b:(Intercept) 1.33596 0.15861 8.42309 0.0011 c:(Intercept) 6.23557 3.18629 1.95700 0.1220 d:(Intercept) 85.52140 2.15565 39.67313 0.0000 e:(Intercept) 59.59835 5.18781 11.48815 0.0003 Residual standard error: 1.866876 (4 degrees of freedom) Now that I have the 4 parameters, how do I fit the absorbance readings for the analytical unknowns to the standard curve model (as to estimate the concentrations of my unknown analytical samples)? I can use the argument 'predict', but this predicts absorbance given concentrations (y given x), I need to predict concentrations give absorbance (x given y). Thanks!
