1
Q
Why can you not measure EMax directly
A
Because to achieve EMax you need an infinite amount of drug so we can only approach it not reach it.
2
Q
Why is a log transformation useful in predicting Emax
A
Because you can expand the data out, see more get smaller and larger values so predicting Emax more accurate.
3
Q
What is EMax
A
The effect at which you are getting maximum possible drug effect
