⚠️There's a newer version (2.5-1) of this package.Take me there.

eggCounts (version 2.4)

Hierarchical Modelling of Faecal Egg Counts

Description

An implementation of Bayesian hierarchical models for faecal egg count data to assess anthelmintic efficacy. Bayesian inference is done via MCMC sampling using 'Stan' .
