<code>NextBest</code> is a virtual class for finding next best dose, from which all
other specific next best dose classes inherit.

Implements a wide range of dose escalation
designs. The focus is on model-based designs, ranging from classical and
modern continual reassessment methods (CRMs) based on dose-limiting toxicity
endpoints to dual-endpoint designs taking into account a biomarker/efficacy
outcome. Bayesian inference is performed via MCMC sampling in JAGS, and it is easy
to setup a new design with custom JAGS code. However, it is also possible to
implement 3+3 designs for comparison or models with non-Bayesian estimation.
The whole package is written in a modular form in the S4 class system, making it
very flexible for adaptation to new models, escalation or stopping rules.
Further details are presented in
