## bioinactivation: a package for modelling microbial inactivation in R.

The __bioinactivation__ package implements several function for the modelization of microbial inactivation in R. It includes:

* functions for the prediction of isothermal or non-isothermal microbial inactivation.
* functions for the adjustment of inactivation models to isothermal experiments.
* functions for the fitting of inactivation models to dynamic experiments.
* functions for the calculation of prediction intervals for isothermal or non-isothermal microbial inactivation processes.

The inactivation models most commonly used in industry and academia are implemented in this package:

* Bigelow's model.
* Peleg's model.
* Mafart's model.
* Geeraerd's model.

Furthermore, this package includes some training data sets mimicking isothermal and non-isothermal inactivation experiments.
