Abstract
- Mean square errors associated with median response estimates are compared for the normal and logistic distributions, based on both maximum likelihood and minimum chi square analyses. In broad perspective there is little difference among the mean square errors for these four estimates, regardless of sample size and stimulus level spacing. The first three of the median response estimates require an iterative numerical solution, whereas the minimum chi square analysis for the logistic distribution yields an explicit expression for the associated median response estimate. This explicit estimation expression may be particularly convenient when nonuniform spacing of stimulus levels is involved in testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
