# BeeGUTS

The goal of BeeGUTS is to analyse the survival toxicity tests performed for bee species. It can be used to fit a Toxicokinetic-Toxicodynamic (TKTD) model adapted for bee standard studies (acute oral, acute contact, and chronic oral studies). The TKTD model used is the General Unified Threshold model of Survival (GUTS).

## Installation

You can install the released version of BeeGUTS from CRAN with:

    install.packages("BeeGUTS")

And the development version from GitHub with:

    # install.packages("devtools")
    devtools::install_github("bgoussen/BeeGUTS")

## Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem. Beware that for space constrains with CRAN, the fit has been limited to a single chain, but more chains can be used.

    #> - In addition to the functions provided by 'BeeGUTS', we recommend using the packages:

    #>    - 'loo' for leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO) using Pareto smoothed
    #>        importance sampling (PSIS), comparison of predictive errors between models, and
    #>        widely applicable information criterion (WAIC).
