PKPDsim is a library for numerical integration of ODE systems, in particular pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) mixed-effects models.

Installation

The development version of PKPDsim always has the most up-to-date improvements and bug fixes. We aim to release PKPDsim on CRAN at least once a year, depending on the number and impact of updates made to the development version.

The CRAN version of PKPDsim can be installed using:

install.packages("PKPDsim")

The development version of PKPDsim can be installed using:

devtools::install_github("InsightRX/PKPDsim")

A number of models from the literature have been made available for use in PKPD simulations. To see which models are available for installation, run:

available_default_literature_models()

You can install these models as packages using the following commands:

# To install a single model:
install_default_literature_model("pk_busulfan_mccune")
# To install all supplied models:
install_default_literature_model("all")
