vpc no longer required? vpc as a s3 method?

[mattfidler]

Hi,

I was trying to see where the vpc package is used? Is it no longer used? If so, it can be dropped as a dependency.

Also, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind making the vpc a s3-compatible object. This way in nlmixr I can import your excellent package and then do a vpc simulation on a simple fit object without having to worry about the vpc conflict in etiher xpose or vpc packages

Hello Matt,

• The vpc package is used by the vpc_data() function of xpose.
• Moving xpose toward a full s3 approach is a top priority on my todo list. I am unhappy with the my current implementation and when time allows me I will work toward this to facilitate 3rd party integrations such as nlmixr, monolix and phoenix nlme.

I could submit a pull request for the s3 method of vpc. It is simple enough. Ron already merged my pull request for a s3 vpc method so all 3 packages would be aligned.

That would be great. Thanks!

I will submit something once https://github.com/ronkeizer/vpc/issues/46 is resolved.

No worries, I will be afk next week anyway :-)
