eeFit

A Microsoft Excel-embedded program for interactive analysis and fitting of experimental dose-response data

Presentation of eeFit

The program eeFit is an Excel add-in designed to fit Hill models to experimental dose-response data using non-linear least-squares regression by means of the Solver add-in. It provides most features of commercial software but is simpler to operate because of its advanced user interface and its complete integration within Excel.
Consult the following paper for a detailed description :
Vivaudou M (2019) eeFit : A Microsoft Excel-embedded program for interactive analysis and fitting of experimental dose-response data. BioTechniques. 66:186-93. doi : 10.2144/btn-2018-0136.

Requirements

The add-in eeFit is restricted to computers running Windows 7 or later versions. It has been tested with Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. Only the 32-bit versions were tested and are recommended here because 64-bit versions are not compatible with many commonly-used ActiveX controls. eeFit requires the Solver add-in and several DLL files which are all bundled with Microsoft Office.

Installation

A package is provided which includes a script for automated installation of the add-in with all associated resource files. All files are in compressed file eefit_pub_*.zip. Detailed instructions are in file ReadMe_eeFit.txt.
