Abstract	A probability model has been developed for the survival of irradiated bacteria with respect to the dose of radiation. This model is applicable to those bacterial taxa to which the target theory applies. Three estimation procedures are given for the purpose of obtaining estimates of the probability model's parameters. These procedures are: logarithmic estimation, iterative least-squares estimation and weighted iterative least-squares estimation. The possibility of multiple solutions when the latter two procedures are used is explored.
