Multiple Logistic Regression with Interaction between Quantitative and Qualitative Explanatory Variables

Viewed 848

As a follow up to this question, I fitted the Multiple Logistic Regression with Interaction between Quantitative and Qualitative Explanatory Variables. MWE is given below:

Type  <- rep(x=LETTERS[1:3], each=5)
Conc  <- rep(x=seq(from=0, to=40, by=10), times=3)
Total <- 50
Kill  <- c(10, 30, 40, 45, 38, 5, 25, 35, 40, 32, 0, 32, 38, 47, 40)

df <- data.frame(Type, Conc, Total, Kill)

fm1 <- 
  glm(
      formula = Kill/Total~Type*Conc
    , family  = binomial(link="logit")
    , data    = df
    , weights = Total
    )

summary(fm1)

Call:
glm(formula = Kill/Total ~ Type * Conc, family = binomial(link = "logit"), 
    data = df, weights = Total)

df$Pred <- predict(object=fm1, data=df, type="response")

df1 <- with(data=df,
               expand.grid(Type=levels(Type)
                           , Conc=seq(from=min(Conc), to=max(Conc), length=51)
                           )
      )
df1$Pred <- predict(object=fm1, newdata=df1, type="response")

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=df, mapping=aes(x=Conc, y=Kill/Total, color=Type)) + geom_point() +
  geom_line(data=df1, mapping=aes(x=Conc, y=Pred), linetype=2) +
  geom_hline(yintercept=0.5,col="gray")

I want to calculate LD50, LD90 and LD95 with their confidence intervals. As the interaction is significant so I want to calculate LD50, LD90 and LD95 with their confidence intervals for each Type (A, B, and C) separately.



LD stands for lethal dose. It is the amount of substance required to kill X% (LD50 = 50%) of the test population.

Edited Type is a qualitative variable representing different types of drugs and Conc is a quantitative variable representing different Concentrations of drugs.
