#' droptest: Simulates LOX drop testing.
#'
#' Generates simulated data representing the LOX drop testing
#' process (also known as impact testing). Drop testing is expensive, time
#' consuming, and notoriously difficult to analyze. A simulated process allows
#' for accelerated study of test behavior.
#'
#' Functions are provided to simulate trials, test series, and groups of test
#' series. Functions for creating plots specific to this process are also
#' included. Test attributes and criteria can be set arbitrarily. This work is
#' not endorsed by or affiliated with NASA.
#'
#' Drop testing -- sometimes called impact testing -- is used to evaluate if a
#' material will interact with liquid oxygen (LOX). The material is exposed to
#' the LOX and an impactor is dropped onto the sample. Each drop is a bernoulli
#' trial where a reaction is a failure and a non-reaction is a success. The
#' specified number of trials -- until failure -- completes one test.
#'
#' While fundamentally a binomial process, drop testing -- performed by the
#' military and NASA -- yields results that are difficult to analyze. Numerous
#' tech briefs and standards have attempted to address the problem (see below
#' for more information). Testing stops immediately once the failure condition
#' is reached. If the failure condition occurs on drop one or two -- depending
#' on the failure criteria -- then the test returns only one or two result
#' values. Alternatively, if a material passes, or if the failure condition
#' occurs on the last trial, then the test returns as many result values
#' as trials.
#'
#' Simulation can be used to examine the behavior of this test procedure.

#' @section Definitions:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item \strong{Trial:} A simulated bernoulli trial that represents one drop
#' of the impactor onto a material sample. Hence a trial is also referred to as
#' a drop. Where q is the probability of failure. A reaction is recorded as a
#' failure. Where p is the probability of success. A non-reaction is recorded
#' as a success. Where \eqn{p = 1 - q}.
#' See \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial}
#'
#' \item \strong{Drop Test:} A collection of simulated trials (drops) generated
#' with equal parameters (q, number of trials, failure criteria, etc). When the
#' failure criteria is reached the test is immediately terminated and no more
#' trials are completed. The sooner a test reaches the failure criteria the
#' less total trials for that particular test. A test with no failures will
#' always contain the maximum number of trials as defined in the function
#' parameters.
#'
#' \item \strong{Test Series:} A collection of simulated drop tests. A group
#' number can be attached to the drop tests in a test series (optional).
#'
#' \item \strong{Groups:} A collection of multiple simulated test series. Each
#' batch of test series are identified with a group number. Within each group
#' test parameters will be identical.
#'
#' \item \strong{Trial Deviation:} The average distance from q for the total
#' percent of reactions (failures).
