#' When performing parameter estimation, the internal function
#' \code{system_od_general} is used. This is the function that simulates your
#' system at the conditions defined for the different cohorts. This is pretty
#' flexible but if you want to go beyond this you can set the
#' \code{observation_function} option:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg = system_set_option(cfg, 
#'                        group  = "estimation",
#'                        option = "observation_function",
#'                        value  = "my_od")
#' }
#'
#' That will instruct the optimziation routines to use the user defined
#' function \code{my_od}. You will need to construct that function to have the
#' same input/output format as \code{\link{system_od_general}}.
#'
#' \bold{\code{group=general}}
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{"output_directory"}   = String where analysis outputs will be
#'     placed. Generally you wont want to change this, but it can be useful in Shiny
#'     apps where you need to have each shiny user generate output in that
#'     users directory : \code{file.path(".", "output")}
#' }
#'
#' \bold{\code{group=logging}}
#'
#' By default ubiquity prints different information to the console and logs this
#' information to a log file. The following options can be used to control
#' this behavior:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{"enabled"}   = Boolean variable to control logging: \code{TRUE}
#' \item \code{"file"}      = String containing the name of the log file: \code{file.path("transient", "ubiquity_log.txt")}
#' \item \code{"timestamp"} = Boolean switch to control appending a time stamp to log entries: \code{TRUE}
#' \item \code{"ts_str"}    = String format of timestamp: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
#' \item \code{"debug"}     = Boolean switch to control debugging (see below): \code{FALSE}
#' \item \code{"verbose"}   = Boolean switch to control printing to the console \code{FALSE}
#' }
#'
#'
#'
#' To enable debugging of different functions (like when performing esitmation), 
#' set the \code{debug} option to \code{TRUE}. Important function calls will be 
#' trapped and information will be logged and reported to the console.
#'
#' \preformatted{

#'}
#'
#' \bold{\code{group="simulation"}}
#'\itemize{
#' \item \code{"include_important_output_times"} - Automatically add bolus, infusion rate switching times, etc: \code{"yes"}(default), \code{"no"}.
#' \item \code{"integrate_with"} - Specify if the ODE solver should use the Rscript (\code{"r-file"}) or compiled C (\code{"c-file"}), if the build process can compile and load the C version it will be the default otherwise it will switch over to the R script.
#' \item \code{"output_times"} - Vector of times to evaulate the simulation (default \code{seq(0,100,1)}).
#' \item \code{"solver"} - Selects the ODE solver: \code{"lsoda"} (default), \code{"lsode"}, \code{"vode"}, etc.; see the documentation for \code{\link[deSolve]{deSolve}} for an exhaustive list.
#' \item \code{"sample_bolus_delta"} - Spacing used when sampling around bolus events (default \code{1e-6}).

#' \bold{\code{group=solver}}
#'
#' Depending on the solver, different options can be set. The documentation
#' for  \code{\link[deSolve]{deSolve}} lists the different solvers. For a full list of options, see the
#' documentation for the specific solver (e.g. \code{?lsoda}). Some common options
#' to consider are:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{"atol"} - Relative error tolerance
#' \item \code{"rtol"} - Absolute error tolerance
#' \item \code{"hmin"} - Minimum integration step size
#' \item \code{"hmax"} - Maximum integration step size
#' }
#' To select the \code{vode} solver and set the maximum step size to 0.01, the
#' following would be used:
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg=system_set_option(cfg,
#'                      group  = "simulation",
#'                      option = "solver",

#'                      option = "hmax", 
#'                      value  = 0.01)
#' }
#'
#' \bold{\code{group="stochastic"}}
#'
#' When running stochastic simulations (inter-individual variability applied to system
#' parameters) it can be useful to specify the following:
#' \itemize{
#'  \item\code{"ci"} - Confidence interval (default \code{95})
#'  \item\code{"nsub"} - Number of subjects (default \code{100})
#'  \item\code{"seed"} - Seed for the random numebr generator (default \code{8675309})
#'  \item\code{"ponly"} - Only generate the subject parameters but do not run the simulations (default \code{FALSE})
#'  \item\code{"ssp"} - A list of the calculated static secondary parameters to include (default all parameters defined by \code{<As>})
#'  \item\code{"outputs"} - A list of the predicted outputs to include (default all outputs defined by \code{<O>})
#'  \item\code{"states"} - A list of the predicted states to include(default all states)
#'  \item\code{"sub_file"} - Name of data set loaded with (\code{\link{system_load_data}}) containing subject level parameters and coviariates
#'  \item\code{"sub_file_sample"} - Controls how subjects are sampled from the dataset
#'  }
#'
#' If you wanted to generate \code{1000} subjects but only wanted the parameters, you would
#' use the following:
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg = system_set_option(cfg,
#'                        group  = "stochastic", 
#'                        option = "nsub ",
#'                        value  = 1000)
#'
#'cfg = system_set_option(cfg,
#'                        group  = "stochastic", 
#'                        option = "ponly",
#'                        value  = TRUE )
#' }
#'
#'
#' If you wanted to exclude both states and secondary parameters, while only including 
#' the output \code{Cp_nM}, you would do the following:
#' \preformatted{
#'
#'cfg = system_set_option (cfg, 
#'                         group  = "stochastic",
#'                         option = "ssp",
#'                         value  = list())
#'
#'cfg = system_set_option (cfg, 
#'                         group  = "stochastic",
#'                         option = "states",
#'                         value  = list())
#'
#'cfg = system_set_option (cfg, 
#'                         group  = "stochastic",
#'                         option = "outputs",
#'                         value  = c("Cp_nM")) 
#' }
#'
#' To pull subject information from a data file instead of generating the subject
#' parameters from IIV information the \code{sub_file} option can be used. The value here
#' \code{SUBFILE_NAME} is the name given to a dataset loaded with
#' (\code{\link{system_load_data}}):
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg=system_set_option(cfg, 
#'                      group  = "stochastic",
#'                      option = "sub_file",
#'                      value  = "SUBFILE_NAME")
#' }
#'  
#' Sampling from the dataset can be controlled using the \code{sub_file_sample} option:
#'  
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg=system_set_option(cfg, 
#'                      group  = "stochastic",
#'                      option = "sub_file_sample",
#'                      value  = "with replacement")
#' }
#'  
#' Sampling can be done sequentially (\code{"sequential"}), with replacement
#' (\code{"with replacement"}), or without replacement (\code{"without replacement"})
#'
#' \bold{\code{group="titration"}}
#'
#' \code{"titrate"} - By default titration is disable (set to \code{FALSE}). If you are
#' going to use titration, enable it here by setting this option to \code{TRUE}.
#' This will force #' \code{\link{simulate_subjects}} to use 
#' \code{\link{run_simulation_titrate}} internally when running simulations.

#' The general syntax for setting a new condition is:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'cfg = system_new_tt_cond(cfg,
#'                         name   = "rname",
#'                         cond   = "BOOLEAN EXPRESSION",
#'                         action = "EXPRESSION",
#'                         value  = "VALUE")
#'}
#'
#' The \code{name}
#' input will associate this condition with a previously defined rule. For each
#' time defined when the rule was created, the condition (\code{cond}) will be
#' evaluated. If that condition evaluates as \code{TRUE} then the \code{action} will be
#' evaluated. Lastly, when a condition action is evaluated, the \code{value} is stored
#' in the titration history.
#'
#' Multiple conditions can be associated with a rule. The internal titration
#' history will track each one where a condition has been evaluated as true, but
#' the simulation output will only show the \bold{last} condition to be evaluated as
#' true.
#'
#' The \code{cond} field is a string that, when evaluated, will produce a boolean value
#' (\code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}). If you simply want to force an action at each of the times
#' for a given rule you can use: \code{cond = "TRUE"}. Alternatively you can provide
#' mathematical expressions or even complicated user defined functions.
#'
#' The \code{action} field is evaluated when \code{cond} is true. To modify how a simulation
#' is going to be performed, you will want to modify the \code{SIMINT_cfgtt}
#' variable using the different system commands. Certain common tasks have
#' prototype functions created to make it easier for the user:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{SI_TT_BOLUS} - Set bolus dosing
#' \item \code{SI_TT_RATE} - Set infusion inputs
#' \item \code{SI_TT_STATE} - Reset system states
#' }
#'
#' \bold{Note:} Protype functions are strings but sometimes it is necessary to
#' specify strings within this string. For the main string use double quotes (")
#' and for the internal strings use single quotes (')
#'
#' \bold{\code{SI_TT_BOLUS}}
#'
#' The simplest way to apply a bolus when the condition is true is to use the following:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'action = "SI_TT_BOLUS[state=’At’, 
#'                      values=c(10, 10, 10), 
#'                      times=c(0, 1, 2)]"
#' }
#'
#' The \code{values} and \code{times} are vectors of numbers of equal length. The dosing and
#' time units are those specified in the \code{system.txt} file for the \code{<B:?>} delimiter. The
#' times are relative to the titration time. So \code{0} above means at the titration time.
#'
#' It’s possible to specify an interval and a number of times to repeat the last dose
#' using the following:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'action = "SI_TT_BOLUS[state    = ’At’, 
#'                      values   = c(5, 5, 10), 
#'                      times    = c(0, 2, 4), 
#'                      repdose  = ’last’, 
#'                      number   = 7, 
#'                      interval = 4]"
#' }
#'
#' This will give a dose of \code{5} at the titration point and \code{2} time units later. The dose of \code{10}
#' at time \code{4} will be repeated \code{7} times every \code{4} time units. So a total of 8 (\code{7 + 1}) doses
#' at \code{10} will be administered. Remember the time units were those defined in \code{<B:?>}.
#' The input \code{repdose} can be either \code{’last’} or \code{’none’}.
#'
#' \bold{Note:} The main string is in double quotes \code{" "} but the strings in the protype
#' argument (e.g. \code{’last’}) are in single quotes \code{’ ’}.
#'
#' \bold{\code{SI_TT_RATE}} 
#'
#' If you created an infusion named \code{Dinf} using \code{<R:?>} and the infusion units
#' are min (times) and mg/min (rates). To have a 60 minute infusion of 20
#' mg/min then we would do the following:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'action = "SI_TT_RATE[rate=’Dinf’, times=c(0, 60), levels=c(20.0, 0)]"
#' }
#'
#' If we wanted to do this every day for 9 more days (a total of 10 days) we can repeat
#' the sequence:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'action = "SI_TT_RATE[rate     = ’Dinf’, 
#'                     times    = c(0, 60), 
#'                     levels   = c(20, 0), 
#'                     repdose  = ’sequence’, 
#'                     number   = 9, 
#'                     interval = 24*60]"
#' }
#'
#' The input \code{repdose} can be either \code{’sequence’} or \code{’none’}.
#'
#' \bold{Note:} The time units and dosing rate are those specified using \code{<R:?>}.
#'
#' \bold{\code{SI_TT_STATE}} 
#'
#' To provide fine control over states at titration points the state reset
#' prototype is provided. For example, if you are modeling an assay where
#' there is a wash step and you want to drop a concentration to zero. If you
#' have a state named \code{Cc} defined in your \code{system.txt} and you want to set
#' it to \code{0.0} in a condition the following action would work.
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'action = "SI_TT_STATE[Cc][0.0]"
#' }
#'
#' The value here is a number but you can use any mathematical
#' combination of variables available in the titration environment. Also you
#' can create your own user function and place the function call within the
#' brackets above.
#'
#' \bold{Titration Environment}
#'
#' The \code{cond}, \code{action}, and \code{value} statements can use any variables available in
#' the titration environment. If you want to perform complicated actions, you can
#' simply create a user defined functions and pass it the variables from the
#' titration environment that you need. These include named variables from the
#' model as well as internal variables used to control the titration.
#'
#' \bold{States and Parameters}
#'
#' System parameters (\code{<P>}), static secondary parameters (\code{<As>}) and 
#' the initial value of covariates are available. Also the state values 
#' (at the current titration time) can be used. These are all available as 
#' the names specified in the \code{system.txt} file. Since system resets
#' (\code{SI_TT_STATE}) are processed first, any changes made to states are 
#' the values that are active for other actions.
#'
#' \bold{Internal Simulation Variables}
#'
#' Internal variables are used to control titration activities. These variables can also be used in the conditions and actions.
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_p} - list of system parameters
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_cfg} - system configuration sent into the titration routine
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_cfgtt}- system configuration at the current titration event time
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_ttimes} - vector of titration times (in simulation units)
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_ttime} - current titration time  (in simulation units)
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_tt_ts} - list of time scales for the current titration
#'   \item \code{SIMINT_history} - data frame tracking the history of conditions that evaluated true with the following structure:
#'   \item \itemize{
#'         \item \code{tname} - name of titration rule
#'         \item \code{value} - value indicating condition that was satisfied
#'         \item \code{simtime} - simulation time when that rule/value were triggered
#'         \item \code{timescale} -  time at the rule timescale when that rule/value were triggered
#' }
#' }
#'
#' \bold{Individual Simulations}
#'
#' To run an individual titration simulation use the following:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'som = run_simulation_titrate(parameters, cfg)
#' }
#'
#'  This provides the same output as \code{\link{run_simulation_ubiquity}} with
#'  two extra fields. The first, \code{som$titration}, contains three columns for each
#'  titration rule. The columns will have a length equal and corresponding to the
#'  simulation times. If the rule name is rname, then the column headers will have
#'  the following names and meanings:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.value} - Value of the rule for the active condition or -1 if not triggered
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.simtime} - Simulation time where the last condition became active
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.timescale} - Simulation time in the time scale the rule was specified in
#' }
#'
#'  The second field is \code{som$titration_history} which contains a summary list of all of the titration events that were triggered.
#' \itemize{
#'    \item \code{tname} - Titration rule name
#'    \item \code{value} - Value of the rule for the active condition or -1 if not triggered   
#'    \item \code{simtime} - Simulation time where the last condition became active
#'    \item \code{timescale} - Simulation time in the time scale the rule was specified in
#' }
#' 
#' To convert this structured list into a data frame the \code{\link{som_to_df}} command can be used:
#' 
#' \preformatted{
#'sdf = som_to_df(cfg, som)
#' }
#'
#' To run stochastic titration simulations, the same function is used:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'som = simulate_subjects(parameters, cfg)
#' }
#'
#' This will add a data a list element called \code{som$titration} with three
#' fields for each titration rule:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.value} - Value of the rule for the active condition or -1 if not triggered
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.simtime} - Simulation time where the last condition became active
#'   \item \code{tt.rname.timescale} - Simulation time in the time scale the rule was specified in
#' } 
#'
#' Each of these fields is a matrix with an entry for each simulation time
#' (column) and each subject (row). This data structure can also be converted to
#' a data frame using \code{som_to_df}.
#' 
#'

#'   inputs       = NULL,
#'   outputs      = NULL)}
#'
#' Next if only a portion of the dataset applies to the current cohort, you
#' can define a filter (\code{cf} field). This will be 
#' applied to the dataset to only return values relevant to this cohort. For
#' example, if we only want records where the column \code{DOSE} is 5 (for the 5
#' mpk cohort). We can use the following: 
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["cf"]]   = list(DOSE   = c(5))}
#' 
#' If the dataset has the headings \code{ID}, \code{DOSE} and \code{SEX}  and
#' cohort filter had the following format:
#' 
#' \preformatted{cohort[["cf"]]   = list(ID    = c(1:4),
#'                         DOSE  = c(5,10),
#'                         SEX   = c(1))}
#'
#'It would be translated into the boolean filter:
#'
#'\preformatted{(ID==1) | (ID==2) | (ID==3) | (ID==4)) & ((DOSE == 5) | (DOSE==10)) & (SEX == 1)}
#'
#' Optionally you may want to fix a system parameter to a different value for a
#' given cohort. This can be done using the cohort parameter (\code{cp}) field.
#' For example if you had the body weight defined as a system parameter 
#' (\code{BW}), and you wanted to fix the body weight to 70 for the current
#' cohort you would do the following:
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["cp"]]   = list(BW        = c(70))}
#'
#' Note that you can only fix parameters that are not being estimated.
#'
#' By default the underlying simulation output times will be taken from the
#' general output_times option (see \code{\link{system_set_option}}). However It may also be 
#' necessary to specify simulation output times for a specific cohort. The
#' \code{output_times} field can be used for this. Simply provide a vector of
#'  output times:
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["output_times"]]   = seq(0,100,2)}
#'
#' Next we define the dosing for this cohort. It is only necessary to define
#' those inputs that are non-zero. So if the data here were generated from
#' animals given a single 5 mpk IV at time 0. Bolus dosing is defined 
#' using \code{<B:times>} and \code{<B:events>}. If \code{Cp} is the central
#' compartment, you would pass this information to the cohort in the
#' following manner:
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["inputs"]][["bolus"]] = list()
#' cohort[["inputs"]][["bolus"]][["Cp"]] = list(TIME=NULL, AMT=NULL)
#' cohort[["inputs"]][["bolus"]][["Cp"]][["TIME"]] = c( 0) 
#' cohort[["inputs"]][["bolus"]][["Cp"]][["AMT"]]  = c( 5)}
#'  
#' Inputs can also include any infusion rates (\code{infusion_rates}) or
#' covariates (\code{covariates}). Covariates will have the default value
#' specified in the system file unless overwritten here. The units here are
#' the same as those in the system file
#'  
#' Next we need to map the outputs in the model to the observation data in the
#' dataset. Under the \code{outputs} field there is a field for each output. Here 
#' the field \code{ONAME} can be replaced with something more useful (like 
#' \code{PK}). 
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["outputs"]][["ONAME"]] = list()}
#'
#' If you want to further filter the dataset. Say for example you
#' have two outputs and the \code{cf} applied above reduces your dataset
#' down to both outputs. Here you can use the  "of" field to apply an "output filter"
#' to further filter the records down to those that apply to the current output ONAME. 
#' \preformatted{cohort[["outputs"]][["ONAME"]][["of"]] = list(
#'        COLNAME          = c(),
#'        COLNAME          = c())}
#' If you do not need further filtering of data, you can you can just omit the field.
#'
#' Next you need to identify the columns in the dataset that contain your
#' times and observations. This is found in the \code{obs} field for the 
#' current observation:
#' \preformatted{cohort[["outputs"]][["ONAME"]][["obs"]] = list(
#'          time           = "TIMECOL",
#'          value          = "OBSCOL",
#'          missing        = -1)}
#'
#' The times and observations in the dataset are found in the \code{’TIMECOL’} column 
#' and the \code{’OBSCOL’} column (optional missing data option specified by -1). 
#'
#' These observations in the dataset need to be mapped to the appropriate
#' elements of your model defined in the system file. This is done with the
#' \code{model} field:
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["outputs"]][["ONAME"]][["model"]] = list(
#'          time           = "TS",       
#'          value          = "MODOUTPUT",
#'          variance       = "PRED^2")}
#'
#' First the system time scale indicated by the \code{TS} placeholder above
#' must be specfied. The time scale must correspond to the data found in
#' \code{TIMECOL} above.  Next the model output indicated by the \code{MODOUTPUT}
#' placeholder needs to be specified. This is defined in the system file using
#' \code{<O>} and should correspond to \code{OBSCOL} from the dataset. Lastly the
#' \code{variance} field specifies the variance model. You can use the keyword
#' \code{PRED} (the model predicted output) and any variance parameters. Some
#' examples include:
#'
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{variance = "1"} - Least squares
#'   \item \code{variance = "PRED^2"} -  Weighted least squares proportional to the prediction squared
#'   \item \code{variance = "(SLOPE*PRED)^2"}  Maximum likelihood estimation where \code{SLOPE} is defined as a variance parameter (\code{<VP>})
#' }
#'
#' The following controls the plotting aspects associated with this output. The
#' color, shape and line values are the values used by ggplot functions. 
#'
#' \preformatted{cohort[["outputs"]][["ONAME"]][["options"]] = list(
#'         marker_color   = "black",
#'         marker_shape   = 16,
#'         marker_line    = 1 )}
#' 
#' If the cohort has multiple outputs, simply repeat the process above for the. 
#' additional cohorts. The estimation vignettes contains examples of this. 
#' 
#' \bold{Note: Output names should be consistent between cohorts so they will be grouped together when plotting results.}

#'@param params_include vector with names of parameters to include (default c("ID", "cmax", "tmax", "auclast"))
#'@param params_header  list with names of parameters followed by a vector of headers. You can use the placeholder "<label>" to include the standard label (e.g. list(cmax=c("<label>", "(ng/ml)"))), with a default of \code{NULL}.
#'@param label_format string containing the format in which headers and labels are being specified, either \code{"text"}, or \code{"md"} (default \code{NULL} assumes \code{"text"} format)
#'@param rptname report name (either PowerPoint or Word) that this table will be used in (\code{"default"})

#' summary statistics and the values indicate the parameters to apply those
#' statistics to. for example, if you want to calculate mean and standard deviation of
#' AUClast you could use \code{list("<MEAN> (<STD>)"=c("auclast")}. This would create
#' a row at the bottom of the table with this information for just the listed
#' parameters. To split this up across two rows just do the following:
#' \code{list("<MEAN>"=c("auclast"), "<STD>"=c("auclast"))}. Any NA values
#' will be ignored when calculating statistics.  The allowed
#' summary statistics are the mean (<MEAN>), median (<MEDIAN>), standard
#' deviation (<STD>), standard error (<SE>), and the number of observations
#' used to calculate statistics. (<N>). The default value of \code{NULL}
#' prevents any summary statistics from being included.

#'@param summary_location column where to put the labels (e.g. Mean (Std)) for

#'@title Design GLP Study For a Scenario 
#'@description Identifies the top dose required in a GLP tox study in order to match human metrics (Cmax and AUCs) within a specified multiplier.
#'  
#' For a given set of human parameters the human doses required to hit the target Cmin and AUC (both or one) will be identified. The Cmax and AUC associated with the largest of those doses will be determined and the corresponding doses for a tox species (and provided parameters) will be determined for specific tox multipliers. 
#'  
#' Optionally, simulations can be be run by specifying doses for either/or the human or tox species. Sample times can also be specified to generate annotated figures and tables to be given to analysts to facilitate assay design. 
#'
#' The system file requires the following components:
#'
#'  - Output for the drug concentration
#'  - Output for the cumulative AUC
#'  - Bolus dosing defined in a specific compartment
#'  - Timescale specified for the system timescale  (e.g. if the timescale is hours then you need \code{<TS> hours = 1.0})
#'
#'
#'@param cfg ubiquity system object
#'@param output_Conc model output specified with \code{<O>} containing the concentration associated with drug exposure.
#'@param output_AUC  model output specified with \code{<O>} containing the cumulative exposure 
#'@param units_Conc units of concentration (\code{''})
#'@param units_AUC  units of AUC (\code{''})
#'@param timescale  system timescale specified with \code{<TS>} used for AUC comparisons and plotting
#'@param study_scenario  string containing a descriptive name for the tox study
#'@param human_sim_times user-specified simulation output times for humans (same timescale as the system)
#'@param study_name name of the study to append the scenario to set with \code{'system_glp_init()'} (\code{'default'}):
#'  When a report is initialized using \code{\link{system_rpt_read_template}} the report name is 'default' unless otherwise specified. To disable reporting set this to  \code{NULL}, and to use a different report specify the name here.
#'@param human_parameters list containing the human parameters 
#'@param human_bolus string containing the dosing state for human doses (specified with \code{<B:?>}) 
#'@param human_ndose number of human doses to simulate
#'@param human_dose_interval dosing interval in humans (time units specified with \code{<B:?>})
#'@param human_Cmin target Cmin in humans (corresponding to output_Conc above)
#'@param human_AUC  target AUC  in humans (corresponding to output_AUC  above)
#'@param human_sample_interval time interval in units specified by timescale above to evaluate the trough concentration and AUC (e.g c(1.99, 4.001) would consider the interval between 2 and 4)
#'@param human_sim_doses  optional list of doses into \code{human_bolus} to simulate (see Details below)
#'@param human_sim_samples optional list of sample times in units specified by timescale above to label on plots of simulated doses (the default \code{NULL} will disable labels)
#'@param tox_species optional name of the tox species (\code{"Tox"})
#'@param tox_sim_times user-specified simulation output times for the tox species (same timescale as the system)  
#'@param tox_parameters list containing the parameters for the tox species
#'@param tox_bolus string containing the dosing state for tox species doses (specified with \code{<B:?>})        
#'@param tox_ndose number of tox doses to simulate
#'@param tox_dose_interval dosing interval in the tox species (time units specified with \code{<B:?>})
#'@param tox_Cmax_multiple for each target (Cmin and AUC) the dose in the tox species will be found to cover this multiple over the projected Cmax in humans (10) 
#'@param tox_AUC_multiple for each target (Cmin and AUC) the dose in the tox species will be found to cover this multiple over the projected AUC in humans (10)
#'@param tox_sample_interval interval to consider the AUC and Cmax for comparing the human prediction to the tox multiple
#'@param tox_sim_doses  optional list of doses into \code{tox_bolus} to simulate (see Details below)
#'@param tox_sim_samples  optional list of sample times in units specified by timescale above to label on plots of simulated doses (the default \code{NULL} will disable labels)  
#'@param annotate_plots Boolean switch to indicate if \code{human_sim_samples} and \code{tox_sim_samples} should be labeled on  their respective plots (\code{TRUE})
#'
#'@details
#'  Both \code{human_sim_doses} and \code{tox_sim_doses} are lists with names
#'  corresponding to the label of the dose. Each element has an AMT and TIME
#'  element which corresponds to the dosing times and amounts in the units 
#'  specified with \code{<B:?>} in the system file.
#'
#'  For example if you wanted to simulate four weekly doses of 20 mg to a 70 kg 
#'  person and the units of bolus doses were days and mg/kg for the times and 
#'  amounts you would do the following:
#'
#'\preformatted{
#'  human_sim_doses = list()
#'  human_sim_doses[["20 mg QW"]]$TIME = c(     0,      7,     14,     21)
#'  human_sim_doses[["20 mg QW"]]$AMT  = c(0.2857, 0.2857, 0.2857, 0.2857)
#'}
