Dear Detlew,

❝ ❝ critical dose drugs 90.0–112.0%).

❝

❝ Although this is a bit of generous rounding to one decimal :cool:

I told Eric Ormsby at the last BioInternational conference (London, October 2008) that on the long run the mean of generic NTIDs will be \(\sqrt{0.900 \times 1.120} = 1.003992 \ldots\). IIRC he replied “We can stand that. 112% is just easier to remember.”…
When discussions were hot in the mid-1980s (switching from untransformed to log-transformed data) we had a width of the acceptance range of 0.40 (80–120%) based on an acceptable Δ of 0.20:

Some people proposed θ₁ = 1–Δ (0.80) and θ₂ = 1/θ₁ (1.25) or ±ln(0.80).
Others argued that with this method the AR in the original scale (0.45) will be wider than the previous standard (0.40). They suggested an even more conservative approach:
θ₂ = 1+Δ (1.20) and θ₁ = 1/θ₁ (0.83) or ±ln(0.83).
A minority suggested to modify Δ in such a way (to 0.1802…) that the AR keeps the previous width, i.e., to θ₁ 0.8198 and θ₂ 1.2198.

We all know which party won – leading to limits “which are easy to remember”. Yes, this was at the end the unbeatable argument. :-D
