作者重申了他长期以来的偏好，即在全有或无反应的生物测定中使用逻辑函数而不是积分高斯函数。logit理论的许多支持者经常根据可能不存在的个体对公差的分布来证明其使用的合理性，而logit理论可以与许多不同的物理化学现象有关。给出了这方面的六个例子。本文还讨论了拟合程序和最佳估计。
The author restates his long-established preference for the use of the logistic function over the integrated Gaussian function in bioassays with all-or-none responses. Many proponents of the probit frequently justify its use on the basis of a probably non-existent distr. of individual to tolerances, whereas logit theory can be related to many different physico-chemical phenomena. Six examples of this are given. Some discussion of fitting procedures and best estimates is included.
