This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of a dose‐response experiment in cytogenetic dosimetry. We suggest an inverse linear model for the log‐odds transformation of the frequency of aberration. The regression considered is between dose and Bayes estimates. The adjustment obtained seems to produce a very small error thus suggesting that the simple linear and quadratic linear functions usually considered in the literature are not the ideal models.
