On the bias of various estimators of the logit and its variance with application to quantal bioassay

JOHN J. GART and JAMES R. ZWEIFEL

National Cancer Institute Bethesda, Md

The bias of several logit estimators and their correspondingvariance estimators is investigated in small samples. Theiruse in quantal bioassay is similarly explored.
