Coefficient of determination

Selects the method to be used to calculate the Coefficient of determination, which is also known as R² value. The following options are available from the drop-down list:

  • Default method: Uses the intercept-free model in assays based on linear regression models, and the mean-adjusted model in assays based on nonlinear regression models.
    Note: Assays based on the restricted regression model of the Slope ratio are an exception where also the mean-adjusted model is used by default.
  • Mean-adjusted model: Calculates the Coefficient of determination based on the following equation:
    R 2 = 1 - i ( y ^ i - y i ) 2 i ( y i - y ¯ ) 2

    Where ȳ is the average response, yi is the i-th response and ŷi is the i-th reponse predicted by the fitted model.

  • Intercept-free model: Calculates the Coefficient of determination based on the following equation:
    R 2 = 1 - i ( y ^ i - y i ) 2 i y i 2

    Where yi is the i-th response and ŷi is the i-th reponse predicted by the fitted model.

Confidence level

Select the Confidence level for which margins are to be calculated. A common value is 90%. The value you select applies to margin development with tests that use confidence intervals.

A higher confidence level produces broader confidence intervals, which results in a greater equivalence range (distance between equivalence margins).

Note: This setting has no effect if you work with tests without confidence intervals such as point estimate tests.

This section allows you to provide information on a Control line. Control lines refine the characteristics of assays. Unlike Control samples, Control lines do not have a dilution or dose.

Tip: Use Control lines for response adjustment or enhanced model building.

To provide information on the substance: Add the elements you need, such as Substance name or Substance reference, from the Creatable elements pane.

Expand the node to add or view information.

This element has the following attributes:

Data type Multiplicity Usage Default value
Node 0...unbounded optional none

Control line

Select the Control line to be used for calculating the normalization factor.

Control sample

This section allows you to provide information on a Control sample. The potency of Control samples is calculated in the same way as the potency of Test samples. Control samples are not included in Combination of assay results calculations.

Tip: Use Control samples to set up specific suitability tests for the assay.

To provide information on the substance: Add the elements you need, such as Substance name or Substance reference, from the Creatable elements pane.

Cov(A,D) standard sample

Enter a decimal number to be used as covariance of the upper asymptote and the lower asymptote of the Standard sample. Simulation uses it for testing sampled parameter configurations. If you do not enter a value, 0 is used as default.

Data type Multiplicity Usage Default value
xs:double 0...1 optional none

Cov(A,D) test/control sample

Enter a decimal number to be used as covariance of the upper asymptote and the lower asymptote of the Test/ Control sample. Simulation uses it for testing sampled parameter configurations. If you do not enter a value, 0 is used as default.

This element has the following attributes:

Data type Multiplicity Usage Default value

Covariances

Define the covariances for the simulation of model parameters. For each parameter, simulation samples a value from the uniform distribution with given limits. If no covariances are defined, 0 is used as default.
