Information-theoretic model-averaged benchmark dose analysis in environmental risk assessment

ENVIRONMETRICS, 24(3), 143–157.

By: W. Piegorsch *, L. An *, A. Wickens*, R. West n, E. Pena * & W. Wu*

author keywords: Akaike information criterion (AIC); doseresponse modeling; frequentist model averaging; model uncertainty; multi-model inference
TL;DR: Application of a frequentist model averaging approach for estimating benchmark doses, based on information-theoretic weights, can improve environmental health planning and risk regulation when dealing with low-level exposures to hazardous agents. (via Semantic Scholar)
