mapbayr

The `mapbayr` package is a tool for use within the R programming environment. It aims to enhance the model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) approach by offering a means to perform maximum a posteriori Bayesian estimation (MAP-BE) of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. This package operates with any population PK model formulated in `mrgsolve`, a feature that underscores its versatility and applicability across a broad range of pharmacokinetic studies.

In addition to its core estimation capabilities, `mapbayr` also offers functionalities for data formatting and reporting and the development of standalone Shiny web applications for MIPD purposes. These features make it a comprehensive tool that does not require additional software beyond R, facilitating broader access to advanced PK parameter estimation techniques within the research and clinical community. Overall, `mapbayr` emerges as a robust and reliable solution for MAP-BE of PK parameters in R, capable of matching or surpassing existing tools like NONMEM under certain conditions.
