concCst

Recalculate the concentrations for the chronic oral tests for bees from
mg a.s./kg feed to \(\mu\)g/bee

Tools to calibrate, validate, and make predictions with the
General Unified Threshold model of Survival adapted for Bee species. The
model is presented in the publication from Baas, J., Goussen, B., Miles, M.,
Preuss, T.G., Roessing, I. (2022) <doi:10.1002/etc.5423> and
Baas, J., Goussen, B., Taenzler, V., Roeben, V., Miles, M., Preuss, T.G.,
van den Berg, S., Roessink, I. (2024) <doi:10.1002/etc.5871>, and is based on the
GUTS framework Jager, T., Albert, C., Preuss, T.G. and Ashauer, R. (2011)
<doi:10.1021/es103092a>.
The authors are grateful to Bayer A.G. for its financial support.

concCst function

<dl><dt>cExt</dt>
<dd>The concentration dataframe in mg a.s./kg feed</dd>
<dt>f_rate</dt>
<dd>A vector containing the feeding rates of the bees in mg/bee/day. If the vector
is of size 1, the same feeding rate is used for all test conditions. If the vector
is of size &gt;1, it should be of the same size as the number of condition and one
feeding rate must be provided per condition. Default is 25 mg/bee/day</dd>
