The 'bayesnec' package.
Description
A No-Effect toxicity estimation package that uses brms (Bürkner (2018), https://github.com/paul-buerkner/brms) to fit concentration (dose)-response data using Bayesian methods for the purpose of estimating both Effect Concentration (ECx) values, but more particularly NEC, but more particularly 'NEC' (Fox 2010), 'NSEC' (Fisher and Fox 2023), and 'N(S)EC (Fisher et al. 2023). Please see ?bnec for more details.
