mrgsolve is an R package maintained under the auspices of Metrum Research Group that facilitates simulation from models based on systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE) that are typically employed for understanding pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and systems biology and pharmacology. mrgsolve consists of computer code written in the R and C++ languages, providing an interface to a C++ translation of the lsoda differential equation solver. See aboutsolver for more information.

Package-wide options

  • mrgolve.project: sets the default project director (mread())

  • mrgsolve.soloc: sets the default package build directory (mread())

  • mrgsolve_mread_quiet: don't print messages during mread()

  • mrgsolve.update.strict: this option has been deprecated; use the strict argument to update() instead
