Abstract
ABSTRACTIn risk assessment, it is often desired to make inferences on the risk at certain low doses or on the dose(s) at which a specific benchmark risk (BMR) is attained. At times, dose levels or BMRs are of interest, and some form of multiplicity adjustment is necessary to ensure a valid simultaneous inference. Bonferroni correction is often employed in practice for such purposes. Though relative simple to implement, the Bonferroni strategy can suffer from extreme conservatism (Nitcheva et al., 2005; Al-Saidy et al., 2003). Recently, Kerns (2017) proposed the use of simultaneous hyperbolic and three-segment bands to perform multiple inferences in risk assessment under Abbott-adjusted log-logistic model with the dose level constrained to a given interval. In this paper, we present and compare methods for deriving multiplicity-adjusted upper limits on extra risk and lower bounds on the benchmark dose under Abbott-adjusted log-logistic model. Monte Carlo simulations evaluate the characteristics of the simultaneous limits. An example is given to illustrate the use of the methods.
