Description of concentration-response curve quality control scores for each benchmark dose (BMD) calculation made across endpoints, chemicals, and sample extracts.
| Quality Control (QC) Score | Description | QC Badge on portal | Number of chemical BMDs | Number of extract BMDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poor | There are not enough concentrations for BMD derivation, or no trend was detected. Therefore, BMD calculation is not performed. |  |
2781 | 338 |
| Moderate | Data resolution can fit a curve, but BMD analysis is unreliable. |  |
1952 | 534 |
| Good | Good or very good concentration-response data (p-value for non-flat curve < 0.32) |  |
2152 | 413 |
