Set Damage Repair Model (DRM=)
MODEL: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:    MODEL: DRM={model name}
Example: MODEL: DRM=RMR


Purpose: Specify the name of the damage repair model (LPL, RMR, or TLK)
Data Type: character
Unit: n/a
Default: RMR
Comments: The LPL and RMR models often suffice for the analysis of cell survival data. On the basis of some mechanistic considerations, the RMR model is preferred over the LPL model. The TLK model is preferred for multi-endpoint data analysis (e.g., simultaneous analysis of cell survival and DSB rejoining data). The TLK also performs as well or better than the LPL and RMR for the analysis of cell survival data. But model calibration is a bit trickier because some model inputs must be set a priori.
