Thanks, both replies have been very helpful.

My problem at hand deals with the dose-response of a
population of animals to a toxic agent using the
binomial-probit model. Now I realize that I could use the
average weight of each dose-group of animals to normalize
the dose or use it as an offset. What would be the
difference in these approaches?

Thanks in advance.
