The total absorbed dose delivered by the reference treatment plan (fraction size X) that leads to the same biological effect as a test treatment plan that is conducted with absorbed dose per fraction d and total absorbed dose D according to the relation:
EQDX_{\alpha/\beta} = D \cdot \frac{d+\alpha/\beta}{X + \alpha/\beta}
where \alpha/\beta is an endpoint- and radiation quality-specific parameter that describes the effect of changes in dose per fraction.
