toxEval-package: Analyze ToxCast data in relation to measured concentrations.

toxEval-packageR Documentation

Analyze ToxCast data in relation to measured concentrations.

Description

toxEval includes a set of functions to analyze, visualize, and organize measured concentration data as it relates to ToxCast data (default) or other user-selected chemical-biological interaction benchmark data such as water quality criteria. The intent of these analyses is to develop a better understanding of the potential biological relevance of environmental chemistry data. Results can be used to prioritize which chemicals at which sites may be of greatest concern. These methods are meant to be used as a screening technique to predict potential for biological influence from chemicals that ultimately need to be validated with direct biological assays.
