Assessment of the hot-plate antinociceptive test in mice. A new method for the statistical treatment of graded data. 1985

I Kitchen, and M Crowder

The use of graded data from hot-plate antinociceptive tests is complicated by the problem of how to treat responses that are greater than the cut-off time. This paper describes a statistical procedure for analysis of antinociceptive data that circumvents this problem. The method is based upon the likelihood function and the data is assumed to follow a Weibull distribution. The technique can be implemented with the use of a computer and provides a more comprehensive assessment of antinociceptive data.
