Model Proportion of assays Variance (log10 scale) Bias (log10 scale)
[95% confidence interval]
Probit regression 100% 0.036 [0.030–0.040] 0.042 [0.035–0.049]
Logistic regression 100% 0.036 [0.030–0.040] 0.055 [0.049–0.063]
Cloglog regression 100% 0.025 [0.021–0.030] 0.027 [0.021–0.033]
Four-parameter non-linear regression 63% 0.022 [0.017–0.027] 0.059 [0.052–0.066]

Values are averages from the different viruses and serum pools, weighted by the number of experiments.
