What PK-related packages do you use that are on CRAN? Do you think that another task view for pharmacometrics would be useful?
Thanks,
Bill
P.S. I’m including packages that are PK-specific. For example, while many people may use nlme or rstan for modeling, they don’t have PK-specific features-- they are general modeling tools; while mrgsolve is a general simulation tool that includes many features related to dosing which makes it have PK-specific features.
P.P.S. For anyone who has packages that are useful but may be in GitHub, R-forge, etc., please put it on CRAN so that it can be included!
Thanks for picking this up. My understanding is that a Cran task view is a guide on CRAN that group sets of R packages and functions by type of analysis, fields, or methodologies, in this case pharmacokinetics. Shouldit include R based apps where code is available, or just packages?
The list you have seems to be relatively comprehensive. Did I see nlmixR on the list?
Bill, Thanks for taking on this task.
I have a couple of useful R scripts for doing PKPD VPCs which are included in Wings for NONMEM. They are not part of formal R package but could be in line with the intent of CRAN task view. What would you suggest I do? Should I try to construct a package for these scripts?
@n.holford and @bdenney - @Ron_Keizer has a very useful package already developed in R which does VPC’s. However, it is available only on github and not on CRAN. I highly recommend trying it out before building a new package. Perhaps you could contribute your code to this already existing package? Here is the link to the package -
@Ron_Keizer, the vpc package looks very interesting! I’m a big fan of tools that abstract the complexity of other tools (i.e. this works with VPC in a generalized, not modeling tool-specific way).
@Matthew_Fidler It’s no problem to add it. I assume that it would go in the modeling section. Can you please suggest the text to add to describe the package (1-2 sentences, please)?
RxODE is an R package that facilitates simulation with ODE models in R. It
is designed with pharmacometrics models in mind, but can be applied more
generally to any ODE model.
