  <dc:title>A Bayesian No-Effect- Concentration (NEC) Algorithm</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package bayesnec version 2.1.3.1</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Pharmacokinetics (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Pharmacokinetics)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Implementation of No-Effect-Concentration estimation that uses 'brms' (see Burkner (2017)&lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01&gt;; Burkner (2018)&lt;doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-017&gt;; Carpenter 'et al.' (2017)&lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01&gt; to fit concentration(dose)-response data using Bayesian methods for the purpose of estimating 'ECx' values, but more particularly 'NEC' (see Fox (2010)&lt;doi:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2009.09.012&gt;), 'NSEC' (see Fisher and Fox (2023)&lt;doi:10.1002/etc.5610&gt;), and 'N(S)EC (see Fisher et al. 2023&lt;doi:10.1002/ieam.4809&gt;). A full description of this package can be found in Fisher 'et al.' (2024)&lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v110.i05&gt;. This package expands and supersedes an original version implemented in 'R2jags' (see Su and Yajima (2020)&lt;https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=R2jags&gt;; Fisher et al. (2020)&lt;doi:10.5281/ZENODO.3966864&gt;).</dc:description>
