pfm

The R package pfm provides some utilities for fate -modelling, including dealing with FOCUS pesticide fate modelling tools, -(currently only TOXSWA cwa and out files), made available under the GNU -public license.

Installation

The easiest way to install the package is probably to use the r-universe repo:

install.packages("pfm", repos = c("https://jranke.r-universe.dev", "https://cran.r-project.org"))

Alternatively you can install the package using the -remotes package. Using quick = TRUE skips -docs, multiple-architecture builds, demos, and vignettes.

remotes::install_github("jranke/pfm", quick = TRUE)

Use

Please refer to the reference.

Examples

One recent nice example of the usage of this package is the -visualisation of a time weighted average for a sawtooth curve obtained -from several overlays of mkinfit predictions as shown here.

Applications

Calculations of predicted environmental concentrations using this -package have been used in some publications by Agroscope.
