  pars,
  filename = "dose_response_plot.pdf",
  fit_curve = TRUE,
  SF_as_log = TRUE
)

Arguments

D

vector of radiation doses

SF

vector of survival fractions corresponding to the doses

pars

parameters (alpha, beta) in the equation SF = exp(-alpha * D - beta * D ^ 2)

filename

name of PDF which will be created by the function

fit_curve

should the graph include a linear-quadratic curve of best fit? Defaults to TRUE

SF_as_log

should SF be expressed in log10 on the graph? Defaults to TRUE

Value

nothing Function works by side effects only
