[R] Fwd: Re: Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50

[i.m.s.white]

Finney's method for finding the confidence interval for a ratio of
parameters is quite simple and is probably described in his book
'Probit analysis'. It is also known as Fieller's method so an
RSiteSearch on 'Fieller' might show something useful.
