We provide several avenues to predict and account for user-based mortality and tag loss during mark-recapture studies. When planning a study on a target species, the retentionmort_generation() function can be used to produce multiple synthetic mark-recapture datasets to anticipate the error associated with a planned field study to guide method development to reduce error. Similarly, if field data was already collected, the retentionmort() function can be used to predict the error from already generated data to adjust for user-based mortality and tag loss. The test_dataset_retentionmort() function will provide an example dataset of how data should be inputted into the function to run properly. Lastly, the retentionmort_figure() function can be used on any dataset generated from either model function to produce an 'rmarkdown' printout of preliminary analysis associated with the model, including summary statistics and figures. Methods and results pertaining to the formation of this package can be found in McCutcheon et al. (in review, "Predicting tagging-related mortality and tag loss during mark-recapture studies").

Generates disease-specific drug-response profiles that are independent of time, concentration, and cell-line. Based on the cell lines used as surrogates, the returned profiles represent the unique transcriptional changes induced by a compound in a given disease.

Provides tools for working with Type S (Sign) and
    Type M (Magnitude) errors, as proposed in Gelman and Tuerlinckx (2000)
    <doi:10.1007/s001800000040> and
    Gelman & Carlin (2014) <doi:10.1177/1745691614551642>.
    In addition to simply calculating the probability of
    Type S/M error, the package includes functions for calculating these errors
    across a variety of effect sizes for comparison, and recommended sample size
    given "tolerances" for Type S/M errors. To improve the speed of these
    calculations, closed forms solutions for the probability of a Type S/M error
    from Lu, Qiu, and Deng (2018) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12132>
    are implemented. As of 1.0.0, this includes
    support only for simple research designs. See the
    package vignette for a fuller exposition on how Type S/M errors arise in
    research, and how to analyze them using the type of design analysis proposed
    in the above papers.
