Dear R-users,

I am pleased to announce the release of scaRabee, a new R package which
constitutes a toolkit for modeling and simulation in the field of
pharmacometrics. It was designed as a user-friendly interface to create and
modify model scripts, define system observations and inputs, and run
simulation or estimation analysis. scaRabee provides templates for the
definition of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models with closed form
solutions, ordinary or delay differential equations. At the end of each
analysis, scaRabee automatically generates diagnostic plots, report files
with run estimate statistics, and a log file with the history of the
optimization process (for estimation runs). Optimization in scaRabee are
performed using the simplex method of Nelder and Mead, implemented in the
neldermead package.

scaRabee is available on CRAN or at http://code.google.com/p/pmlab/ in
version 1.0.

Any question, comment or feedback on this package is to be sent at:
sb.pmlab@gmail.com.
