tidydrc

Description

Tidy modelling of dose-response relationships with the drc package in R.
This is a wrapper for drc by Christian Ritz, which is probably the best package for modelling dose-response.
tidydrc contains two functions which make it easier to generate and plot these models. Install it with:

devtools::install_github("angelovangel/tidydrc")

Examples

The tidydrc_model() function returns a dataframe with list-columns (the data, predictions and coefficients). It is thus easy to implement in tidy workflows. For example, to fit Michaelis-Menten kinetics models for treated and untreated samples in the Puromycin dataset (built-in) and get the Km values with std. error:

mm <- tidydrc_model(Puromycin, conc, rate, model = MM.3(), state)
names(mm$drmod) <- as.character(mm$state)
map(mm$drmod, ED, 50) %>% map_df(as_tibble, .id = "sample")

The list-column dataframe can be directly piped to tidydrc_plot()

tidydrc_model(S.alba, Dose, DryMatter, model = LL.4(), Herbicide) %>%
tidydrc_plot(ed50 = TRUE, color = ~Herbicide) + 
scale_x_log10()

A more involved example...
