Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Pharmacology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of median effective dose (ED50) and median lethal dose (LD50) is crucial in pharmacology and toxicology.
  • Traditional methods can be computationally intensive, requiring specialized software or hardware.
  • The need for accessible and efficient dose-response analysis tools persists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a program for calculating ED50/LD50 using a programmable pocket calculator.
  • To implement Finney's probit analysis algorithm for dose-response estimation.
  • To provide a portable and accessible tool for statistical analysis in biological assays.

Main Methods:

  • A program was developed for the HP41CV programmable pocket calculator.
  • Finney's probit analysis algorithm was employed for dose-response estimation.
  • The program utilizes indirect addressing for data storage and weighted regression via statistical register manipulation.

Main Results:

  • The developed program successfully estimates ED50/LD50 values.
  • Data input is simplified, with a limitation of up to 15 data groups.
  • The calculator provides sufficiently precise results for practical applications.

Conclusions:

  • A portable and user-friendly program for ED50/LD50 estimation using a programmable calculator has been successfully developed.
  • The program leverages Finney's probit analysis and demonstrates the utility of programmable calculators for statistical computations.
  • The methodology's precision suggests its applicability in various other statistical analysis scenarios.
