First release.
bayesTLS fits joint Bayesian four-parameter logistic (4PL) models to
thermal-tolerance data and derives the classical thermal death time / thermal
load sensitivity quantities from the posterior, so that every downstream
quantity carries full uncertainty and is mutually consistent within a draw.
standardize_data() maps a raw thermal-tolerance dataset (binomial counts or
continuous proportions) onto the columns the model expects, and records the
duration unit and centring used.fit_4pl() fits the joint 4PL with brms, in either the midpoint
parameterisation or the direct CTmax/z parameterisation
(ctmax = ~ ..., z = ~ ...), with moderators allowed on any sub-parameter.make_4pl_formula() and make_4pl_priors() expose the underlying brms
formula and default priors for inspection or customisation.tls() derives z, CTmax and T_crit per moderator group from any fitted
4PL — including hand-written brms models — by evaluating the sub-parameters
on a moderator x temperature grid with brms::posterior_linpred().tls_z(), tls_ctmax() and tls_tcrit() return the individual quantities;
derive_tdt_curve() and derive_tdt_landscape() give the TDT curve and
landscape.predict_heat_injury() accumulates heat injury over an arbitrary temperature
trace, with optional Sharpe-Schoolfield repair (repair_rate_schoolfield()).predict_survival_curves() propagates that injury to survival.make_temperature_scenarios() builds fluctuating-temperature scenarios.ts_stage1(), ts_stage2(), ts_curve() and ts_ci() implement the
conventional two-stage TDT workflow, for direct comparison against the joint
model.plot_tdt_curve(), plot_tdt_landscape(), plot_heat_injury(),
plot_survival_curves(), plot_temperature_scenarios() and friends, all on a
shared theme_tdt().diagnose_tdt_fit() and bayes_R2_tls() for fit checking.Four publicly available example datasets spanning lethal and sub-lethal
endpoints: aphid_tdt, dsuzukii, snowgum_psii and zebrafish_o2.
