  "term": "Moving average method",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A computational method for estimating a median lethal or effective concentration (LC50, EC50) or a median lethal dose (LD50) from quantal toxicity test data. It smooths the response proportions by averaging over adjacent test concentrations and then interpolates to the concentration giving a 50% response. The calculation is simplest when the concentrations form a geometric series with equal numbers of organisms at each.",
