This package utilises the Šesták–Berggren equation alongside the Arrhenius equation to make a simple and consistent way for a user to carry out the calculations and predictions required by accelerated stability studies. Currently the package works with decreasing variables, you may choose to transform your increasing variable into a decreasing one but note that your choice of transformation can impact the outcome.

The available functions within the package are as follows:

• step1_down() Fit the one-step Šesták–Berggren kinetic model.
• step1_down_basic() Quickly fit the one-step Šesták–Berggren kinetic model.
• step1_down_rmse() Calculate Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for the one-step Šesták–Berggren kinetic model.
• excursion() Predict a temperature excursion for a product.
• step1_plot_CI() Plot the stability data and visualise the predictions with confidence intervals.
• step1_plot_desc() Plot raw accelerated stability data.
• step1_plot_diagnostic() Generate residual diagnostic plots from a step1_down fit.
• step1_plot_PI() Plot the stability data and visualise the predictions with prediction intervals.
• step1_plot_pred() Plot the stability data and visualise the predictions.
• step1_plot_T() Plot the stability data and visualise the predictions with focus on one temperature.
• step1_sample_mvt() Take a selected number of samples from the multivariate t distribution (mvt).
