\title{Default Priors for DEB Parameters}
\usage{
prior_default(type = c("individual", "growth_repro", "hierarchical", "debtox"))
}
\arguments{
\item{type}{One of \code{"individual"}, \code{"growth_repro"}, \code{"hierarchical"},
\code{"debtox"}.}
}
\value{
Named list of \code{bdeb_prior} objects.
}
\description{
Returns a named list of weakly informative priors for standard DEB
parameters.  The defaults are calibrated against the parameter ranges
observed in the Add-my-Pet (AmP) collection (Marques et al., 2018)
for standard ecotoxicological test species.  All positive rate
parameters use log-normal priors whose 95 \\% prior mass covers
roughly one order of magnitude around typical values; \eqn{\kappa}
uses \eqn{\mathrm{Beta}(2,2)} which is symmetric on \eqn{(0,1)} with
prior mean 0.5.
