data.frame) with 16 rows and 7 columns.
Details
These data were sourced from: Batley G (2021). “Unpublished data, anonymous/confidential information.” March 23.
The columns are as follows:
- Conc
- The chemical concentration (dbl). 
- Duration
- Test duration (chr). 
- Group
- Taxonomic grouping information (chr). 
- Life_stage
- Life stage of the test organism (chr). 
- Species
- The species names name (chr). 
- Test_endpoint
- Endpoint statistic, EC10, NEC etc (chr). 
- Toxicity_measure
- Type of toxicity measure used (chr). 
Where toxicity measure is not a chronic NEC, EC10 or NOEC value, concentration has been converted using the appropriate default ratio, as follows: 10 from acute EC50/LC50 to chronic EC10; 5 from chronic EC50 to EC10; 2.5 from LOEC to EC10. Please see the primary reference material for more information.
All concentration data are ug/L unless otherwise stated.

Get SSD dataset
Description
Retrieves a specific SSD dataset, filtering and groups by species and applies a geometric mean in the case of duplicate records.
Usage
get_ssddata(
  dataset_name,
  filter_val = NULL,
  use_gmmean = TRUE,
  spp_vec = c("Species", "Genus"),
  conc = "Conc"
)
Arguments
| dataset_name | The name (chr) of the desired dataset in ssddata. | 
| filter_val | A character string, indicating the filter to be applied (value) (colname) and which column it applies to, separated by "_". Must be in the form colname_value. | 
| use_gmmean | Logical indicating if a geometric mean should be applied. | 
| spp_vec | The group_by columns to use for grouping data and applying a geometric mean. | 
| conc | The name of the concentration (x data) column. | 
Value
The data.frame for dataset_name with any applied groupings and summary.
Examples
get_ssddata("ccme_boron")
