Binary responses, such as dead or alive, in response to two or more stimuli are considered in this paper. Their joint actions are defined to be either independent, conditionally independent, additive, synergistic or antagonistic. The Bernoulli parameter is replaced by a dose‐response function. Theorems on the probability of a response resulting from the joint actions of the stimuli are stated, and proved. An example is also included.
