Abstract Bayesian methods for estimating the dose response curves with the one-hit model, the gamma multi-hit model, and their modified versions with Abbott's correction are studied. The Gibbs sampling approach with data augmentation and with the Metropolis algorithm is employed to compute the Bayes estimates of the potency curves. In addition, estimation of the ‘relative additional risk’ and the ‘virtually safe dose’ is studied. Model selection based on conditional predictive ordinates from cross-validated data is developed.
