BMDS Online

The 2022 version of BMDS Online will contain all but two models (the Multitumor and Nested Logistic models) that are available in the desktop version of BMDS (BMDS 3.3). It will perform modeling analysis substantially faster than the desktop (Excel) version of BMDS and will also contain several new user interface enhancements such as enhanved graphics and the ability to share analysis via URL linkages.  Future versions of BMDS Online will add the Multitumor model and the Nested Logistic model, as well as planned new continuous nested and conintuous model averaging models.
