Statistical Models in Toxicology

Statistical Models in Toxicology presents an up-to-date and comprehensive account of statistical theory topics that occur in toxicology. The attention given by statisticians to the problem of health risk estimation for environmental and occupational exposures in the last few decades has created excitement and optimism among both statisticians and toxicologists. The development of modern statistical techniques with solid mathematical foundations in the twentieth century and the advent of modern computers in the latter part of the century gave way to the development of many statistical models and methods to describe toxicological processes and attempts to solve the associated problems. Not only have the models enjoyed a high level of elegance and sophistication mathematically, but they are widely used by industry and government regulatory agencies.
