In cvasi: Calibration, Validation, and Simulation of TKTD Models

cvasi 1.2.0

• New likelihood profiling with lik_profile() based on the routines described by Tjalling Jager (doi: 10.1002/ieam.4333) and implemented in BYOM
• The function survival() has been deprecated. Survival probabilities of affected models are now part of the return value of simulate().
• The function DEB_Daphnia() has been superseded by the more appropriatly named DEBtox(). The former function is still available, but will show a warning when used.
• The DEBtox() model equations have been updated to conform with BYOM's DEBtox 2019 module version 4.7.
• New slot param.bounds was added to effect scenario classes to store valid parameter ranges of commonly fitted model parameters. The information is currently only used in likelihood profiling.
• New function set_bounds() to set or modify parameter bounds for one or more scenarios or calibration sets.
• Custom error functions supplied to calibrate() must accept four arguments; the error function will be supplied with all observed and predicted values in one call. The two additional parameters represent optional weights and study IDs.
• Verbose output is enabled by default for calibrate()
• New slot tag was added to calibration set classes to store additional metadata such as study IDs. The information will be passed on to the error function by calibrate().
• The function to create calibration sets has been renamed to caliset(). The former CalibrationSet() is still available, but will show a warning when used.

cvasi 1.1.3

• Links to MOSAIC web page (mosaic.univ-lyon1.fr) had to be removed because server was inaccessible

cvasi 1.1.2

• morse removed (temporarily) as suggested package, because it was archived by CRAN
• Model man pages amended

cvasi 1.1.1

• Various improvements to plotting routines
• New plot_scenario()

cvasi 1.1.0

• calibrate()
• Function arguments simplified and partly renamed
• Fitting is now more error-tolerant and will not abort if a simulation fails or if it returns invalid values

cvasi 1.0.1

• Algae_TKTD() harmonized with Algae_Simple() model equations
• Fix for numerical issues in unit tests and vignette on macOS ARM platform
• Minor changes to conform with CRAN requirements

cvasi 0.10.5
