from ICRP Publication 131, 2015

A statistical model that expresses the risk of an effect E (e.g. disease, death, or abnormality) as the sum of two components: one proportional to dose (linear term) and the other proportional to the square of dose (quadratic term).

E=αD+βD2, where D is dose. For cell survival: S =exp-(αD+βD2).

A statistical model that expresses the risk of an effect (e.g., disease, death, or abnormality) as the sum of two components, one proportional to dose (linear term) and the other one proportional to the square of dose (quadratic term).
