Hello,
it was an assembler problem of the machine. I now managed to install
the package, I tried to fit a 4 or 5 parameters model but the fitting
is not good:
```
df = data.frame(Response = c(890.72, 890.94, 880.16,
895.46, 890.8, 884.15,
895.63, 887.22, 879.57, 894.72,
888.91, 878.89,
895.49, 890.83, 882.27, 893.59,
889.92, 881.59,
892.53, 891.76, 880.98, 895.06,
890.32, 881.45,
897.21, 886.35, 876.19, 889.27,
878.11, 868.32,
876.05, 866.57, 859.16, 850.53,
857.96, 859.34,
862.02, 859.04, 859.73, 858.36,
863.64, 861.19),
Dose = c(0.0000000015, 0.0000000015,
0.0000000015, 0.000000003,
0.000000003, 0.000000003, 0.000000006,
0.000000006,
0.000000006, 0.000000012, 0.000000012,
0.000000012,
0.000000024, 0.000000024, 0.000000024,
0.000000048,
0.000000048, 0.000000048, 0.000000095,
0.000000095,
0.000000095, 0.00000018, 0.00000018,
0.00000018, 0.00000038,
0.00000038, 0.00000038, 0.00000078,
0.00000078, 0.00000078,
0.0000015, 0.0000015, 0.0000015,
0.000007, 0.000007,
0.000007, 0.000025, 0.000025,
0.000025, 0.00005, 0.00005, 0.00005)
)
plot(Response~log10(Dose), df)
library(drc)
mod = drm(Response~Dose, data = df, fct=L.4())
plot(mod)
```
How can I set a Hill function with `drm`?
Thank you
