Need to replicate Boltzman Signmodial Curve fit from Graph Pad

Sorry. I left out a line:
Should be inserted just before the lines() function.

Thank you David! That looks really close, I believe Graphpad gave a V50 of
?7.244.

One thing I missed on your example was where you obtained 'pHvals' from?

You may want to compare R's four point logistic with the results you get
using Graphpad. For these data the Bottom parameter is not significantly
different from zero (so the three point sigmoid might be adequate), but as
Bert points out, especially with only 8 data points, it is probably
overfitting the model.

I think you'll find that this is just an alternate parameterization of a 4 P
logistic.
... and in any case there is no statistically detectable difference between
the two.

That is, this is just basically a Graphpad marketing ploy. Fit such data
with anyone's logistic function ... and that is probably overfitting in many
cases, anyway.

Cheers,
Bert
