PKPDposterior 
Introduction
This software package provides convenience functions around Stan (CmdStanR), Torsten, and PKPDsim. The goal of the package is to make it easier to full-Bayesian inference in the context of model-informed precision dosing.
The software is intended for use in education and research, and is not intended for clinical use. By design, this package does not include functionality that directly provides dosing advice.
Installation and getting started
Install the latest version of PKPDposterior using remotes or devtools:
remotes::install_github("InsightRX/PKPDposterior")
devtools::install_github("InsightRX/PKPDposterior")PKPDposterior depends on Torsten and Stan. If you don't already have these software working, follow the instructions for installing Torsten. Then, add the file path to your Stan installation location to your environment variables.
Sys.setenv(CMDSTAN = "path/to/Torsten/cmdstan")To avoid running the above command every time you restart your R session, consider adding this environment variable to your .Renviron or other configuration file.
