Hi John,
you may have a look at the drc-package (or look at the maintainers web site www.bioassay.dk)
I think it does exactly what you want.

Hi, I am trying to use F test or Chi-square test to test if 2 5-parameter (A, 
B, xmid, scal and H) logistic curves are parallel based on residual sum of 
squares.

What's usually done is to first fit the 2 curves using a constraint (or global) model 
where all parameters are kept the same except for "xmid"; then fit 2 
independent curves using unconstraint models where all 5 parameters are allowed for 
change. The extra residual sum of squares can then be used to test parallelism using 
either Chi-square or F test.

Now, fitting 2 separate curves are straight forward using nls(), but how to fit a global 
model to only allow "xmid" to be different among the 2 curves?

BTW, is there a selfStart function for 5-parameter logistic like SSfpl for 
4-parameter logistic function?

Thanks very much,

John
