Is anyone aware of how to perform the three- or four-parameter logistic dose
response model in Stata?  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that what you're referring to as the three-parameter logistic
model is also known in some circles as the Emax model (or "simple" Emax
model), and the four-parameter as the sigmoid Emax model.

To see the relationship between these and logistic regression � la
generalized linear models, see  the last two posts at the bottom of
www.boomer.org/pkin/PK96/PK1996097.html and Appendix 1 of
www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/cgi/content/full/95/3/609 .

There are variations in weighting schemes as well as nomenclature.  See, for
example, Equations 2 (three-parameter logistic) and 3 (four-parameter
logistic) in a post by David Airey
( www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-04/msg00450.html ):  Harvey
Motulsky's GraphPad Prism software exponentiates a term involving the
logarithmically transformed ligand concentration or drug dose.

As others have already mentioned, -nl- is probably the easiest approach for
these in Stata, and its use is illustrated below for these.  You can also
use -ml-, as David Airey alluded in his earlier post in this thread.

For what it's worth, I've just stumbled across a five-parameter logistic
model in the context of ligand-binding assays (Gottschalk and Dunn, 2005,
cited in Findlay and Dillard, 2007).
