Example evaluation of FOCUS Example Dataset D
This is just a very simple vignette showing how to fit a
degradation model for a parent compound with one transformation product
using mkin. After loading the library we look at the data.
We have observed concentrations in the column named value
at the times specified in column time for the two observed
variables named parent and m1.

## 42 m1 100 33.13
## 43 m1 120 25.15
## 44 m1 120 33.31Next we specify the degradation model: The parent compound degrades with simple first-order kinetics (SFO) to one metabolite named m1, which also degrades with SFO kinetics.
The call to mkinmod returns a degradation model. The differential
equations represented in R code can be found in the character vector
$diffs of the mkinmod object. If a C compiler
(gcc) is installed and functional, the differential equation model will
be compiled from auto-generated C code.
## Temporary DLL for differentials generated and loaded## parent
## "d_parent = - k_parent * parent"
## m1
## "d_m1 = + f_parent_to_m1 * k_parent * parent - k_m1 * m1"We do the fitting without progress report
(quiet = TRUE).
## Warning in mkinfit(SFO_SFO, FOCUS_2006_D, quiet = TRUE): Observations with
## value of zero were removed from the dataA plot of the fit including a residual plot for both observed
variables is obtained using the plot_sep method for
mkinfit objects, which shows separate graphs for all
compounds and their residuals.
Confidence intervals for the parameter estimates are obtained using
the mkinparplot function.
A comprehensive report of the results is obtained using the
summary method for mkinfit objects.
