<th>mkinmod</th>
<td><p>A list of class <a href='mkinmod.html'>mkinmod</a>, containing the kinetic
model to be fitted to the data, or one of the shorthand names ("SFO",
"FOMC", "DFOP", "HS", "SFORB", "IORE"). If a shorthand name is given, a
parent only degradation model is generated for the variable with the
highest value in <code>observed</code>.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>observed</th>
<td><p>A dataframe with the observed data. The first column called
"name" must contain the name of the observed variable for each data point.
The second column must contain the times of observation, named "time".
The third column must be named "value" and contain the observed values.
Zero values in the "value" column will be removed, with a warning, in
order to avoid problems with fitting the two-component error model. This
is not expected to be a problem, because in general, values of zero are
not observed in degradation data, because there is a lower limit of
detection.</p></td>

including parameters to be optimised and potentially also fixed parameters
as indicated by <code>fixed_parms</code>. If set to "auto", initial values for
rate constants are set to default values. Using parameter names that are
not in the model gives an error.</p>
<p>It is possible to only specify a subset of the parameters that the model
needs. You can use the parameter lists "bparms.ode" from a previously
fitted model, which contains the differential equation parameters from
this model. This works nicely if the models are nested. An example is
given below.</p></td>

<td><p>A named vector of initial values for the state variables of
the model. In case the observed variables are represented by more than one
model variable, the names will differ from the names of the observed
variables (see <code>map</code> component of <a href='mkinmod.html'>mkinmod</a>). The default
is to set the initial value of the first model variable to the mean of the
time zero values for the variable with the maximum observed value, and all
others to 0. If this variable has no time zero observations, its initial
value is set to 100.</p></td>

observed variable, then data before the time of the maximum observed value
(after averaging for each sampling time) are discarded, and this time is
subtracted from all remaining time values, so the time of the maximum
observed mean value is the new time zero.</p></td>

coefficient matrix in cases that this is possible. If set to "deSolve", a
numerical <a href='https://rdrr.io/pkg/deSolve/man/ode.html'>ode solver from package deSolve</a> is used. If
set to "analytical", an analytical solution of the model is used. This is
only implemented for relatively simple degradation models. The default is
"auto", which uses "analytical" if possible, otherwise "deSolve" if a
compiler is present, and "eigen" if no compiler is present and the model
can be expressed using eigenvalues and eigenvectors.</p></td>

<p>The algorithm "d_3" will directly minimize the negative log-likelihood
and independently also use the three step algorithm described below.
The fit with the higher likelihood is returned.</p>

initial unweighted least squares optimisation step.</p>

optimizes only the error model using the degradation model parameters
found, and then minimizes the negative log-likelihood with free
degradation and error model parameters.</p>

optimizes only the error model using the degradation model parameters
found, then optimizes the degradation model again with fixed error model
parameters, and finally minimizes the negative log-likelihood with free
degradation and error model parameters.</p>
<p>The algorithm "IRLS" (Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares) starts with
unweighted least squares, and then iterates optimization of the error
model parameters and subsequent optimization of the degradation model
using those error model parameters, until the error model parameters
converge.</p></td>

<p>Per default, parameters in the kinetic models are internally transformed in
order to better satisfy the assumption of a normal distribution of their
estimators.</p>
<h2 class="hasAnchor" id="note"><a class="anchor" href="#note"></a>Note</h2>
<p>When using the "IORE" submodel for metabolites, fitting with
"transform_rates = TRUE" (the default) often leads to failures of the
numerical ODE solver. In this situation it may help to switch off the
internal rate transformation.</p>
