A new approach to data analysis in mixture experiments is proposed using the simplex regression, that is in the class of dispersion models family. The advantages of this approach are illustrated in an experiment studying the mixture effect of fat, carbohydrate, and fiber on tumors’ proportion in mammary glands of rats. Model was evaluated by goodness of fit criteria, simulated envelope charts for residuals of adjusted models, odds ratios graphics and their respective confidence intervals. The simplex regression model showed better quality of fit and smaller odds ratio confidence intervals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
