+# Example evaluation of FOCUS Laboratory Data L1 to L3
+
+## Laboratory Data L1
+
+The following code defines example dataset L1 from the FOCUS kinetics
+report, p. 284
+
+```{r}
+library("mkin")
+FOCUS_2006_L1 = data.frame(
+ t = rep(c(0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 30), each = 2),
+ parent = c(88.3, 91.4, 85.6, 84.5, 78.9, 77.6,
+ 72.0, 71.9, 50.3, 59.4, 47.0, 45.1,
+ 27.7, 27.3, 10.0, 10.4, 2.9, 4.0))
+FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L1)
+```
+
+The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. Note that
+the model definitions contain the names of the observed variables in the data.
+In this case, there is only one variable called `parent`.
+
+```{r}
+SFO <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "SFO"))
+FOMC <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "FOMC"))
+DFOP <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "DFOP"))
+```
+
+The three models cover the first assumption of simple first order (SFO),
+the case of declining rate constant over time (FOMC) and the case of two
+different phases of the kinetics (DFOP). For a more detailed discussion
+of the models, please see the FOCUS kinetics report.
+
+The following two lines fit the model and produce the summary report
+of the model fit. This covers the numerical analysis given in the
+FOCUS report.
+
+```{r}
+m.L1.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
+summary(m.L1.SFO)
+```
+
+A plot of the fit is obtained with the plot function for mkinfit objects.
+
+```{r fig.width=7, fig.height = 5}
+plot(m.L1.SFO)
+```
+The residual plot can be easily obtained by
+
+```{r fig.width=7, fig.height = 5}
+mkinresplot(m.L1.SFO, ylab = "Observed", xlab = "Time")
+```
+
+For comparison, the FOMC model is fitted as well, and the chi^2 error level
+is checked.
+
+```{r}
+m.L1.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
+summary(m.L1.FOMC, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+Due to the higher number of parameters, and the lower number of degrees of
+freedom of the fit, the chi^2 error level is actually higher for the FOMC
+model (3.6%) than for the SFO model (3.4%). Additionally, the covariance
+matrix can not be obtained, indicating overparameterisation of the model.
+As a consequence, no standard errors for transformed parameters nor
+confidence intervals for backtransformed parameters are available.
+
+The chi^2 error levels reported in Appendix 3 and Appendix 7 to the FOCUS
+kinetics report are rounded to integer percentages and partly deviate by one
+percentage point from the results calculated by mkin. The reason for
+this is not known. However, mkin gives the same chi^2 error levels
+as the kinfit package.
+
+Furthermore, the calculation routines of the kinfit package have been extensively
+compared to the results obtained by the KinGUI software, as documented in the
+kinfit package vignette. KinGUI is a widely used standard package in this field.
+Therefore, the reason for the difference was not investigated further.
+
+## Laboratory Data L2
+
+The following code defines example dataset L2 from the FOCUS kinetics
+report, p. 287
+
+```{r}
+FOCUS_2006_L2 = data.frame(
+ t = rep(c(0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28), each = 2),
+ parent = c(96.1, 91.8, 41.4, 38.7,
+ 19.3, 22.3, 4.6, 4.6,
+ 2.6, 1.2, 0.3, 0.6))
+FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L2)
+```
+
+Again, the SFO model is fitted and a summary is obtained.
+
+```{r}
+m.L2.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
+summary(m.L2.SFO)
+```
+
+The chi^2 error level of 14% suggests that the model does not fit very well.
+This is also obvious from the plots of the fit and the residuals.
+
+```{r fig.height = 8}
+par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
+plot(m.L2.SFO)
+mkinresplot(m.L2.SFO)
+```
+
+In the FOCUS kinetics report, it is stated that there is no apparent systematic
+error observed from the residual plot up to the measured DT90 (approximately at
+day 5), and there is an underestimation beyond that point.
+
+We may add that it is difficult to judge the random nature of the residuals just
+from the three samplings at days 0, 1 and 3. Also, it is not clear _a
+priori_ why a consistent underestimation after the approximate DT90 should be
+irrelevant. However, this can be rationalised by the fact that the FOCUS fate
+models generally only implement SFO kinetics.
+
+For comparison, the FOMC model is fitted as well, and the chi^2 error level
+is checked.
+
+```{r fig.height = 8}
+m.L2.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
+plot(m.L2.FOMC)
+mkinresplot(m.L2.FOMC)
+summary(m.L2.FOMC, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+The error level at which the chi^2 test passes is much lower in this case.
+Therefore, the FOMC model provides a better description of the data, as less
+experimental error has to be assumed in order to explain the data.
+
+Fitting the four parameter DFOP model further reduces the chi^2 error level.
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L2.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L2.DFOP)
+```
+
+Here, the default starting parameters for the DFOP model obviously do not lead
+to a reasonable solution. Therefore the fit is repeated with different starting
+parameters.
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L2.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin,
+ parms.ini = c(k1 = 1, k2 = 0.01, g = 0.8),
+ quiet=TRUE)
+plot(m.L2.DFOP)
+summary(m.L2.DFOP, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+Here, the DFOP model is clearly the best-fit model for dataset L2 based on the
+chi^2 error level criterion. However, the failure to calculate the covariance
+matrix indicates that the parameter estimates correlate excessively. Therefore,
+the FOMC model may be preferred for this dataset.
+
+## Laboratory Data L3
+
+The following code defines example dataset L3 from the FOCUS kinetics report,
+p. 290.
+
+```{r}
+FOCUS_2006_L3 = data.frame(
+ t = c(0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 91, 120),
+ parent = c(97.8, 60, 51, 43, 35, 22, 15, 12))
+FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L3)
+```
+
+SFO model, summary and plot:
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L3.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L3.SFO)
+summary(m.L3.SFO)
+```
+
+The chi^2 error level of 21% as well as the plot suggest that the model
+does not fit very well.
+
+The FOMC model performs better:
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L3.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L3.FOMC)
+summary(m.L3.FOMC, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+The error level at which the chi^2 test passes is 7% in this case.
+
+Fitting the four parameter DFOP model further reduces the chi^2 error level
+considerably:
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L3.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L3.DFOP)
+summary(m.L3.DFOP, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+Here, a look to the model plot, the confidence intervals of the parameters
+and the correlation matrix suggest that the parameter estimates are reliable, and
+the DFOP model can be used as the best-fit model based on the chi^2 error
+level criterion for laboratory data L3.
+
+## Laboratory Data L4
+
+The following code defines example dataset L4 from the FOCUS kinetics
+report, p. 293
+
+```{r}
+FOCUS_2006_L4 = data.frame(
+ t = c(0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 91, 120),
+ parent = c(96.6, 96.3, 94.3, 88.8, 74.9, 59.9, 53.5, 49.0))
+FOCUS_2006_L4_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L4)
+```
+
+SFO model, summary and plot:
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L4.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L4_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L4.SFO)
+summary(m.L4.SFO, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+The chi^2 error level of 3.3% as well as the plot suggest that the model
+fits very well.
+
+The FOMC model for comparison
+
+```{r fig.height = 5}
+m.L4.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L4_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.L4.FOMC)
+summary(m.L4.FOMC, data = FALSE)
+```
+
+The error level at which the chi^2 test passes is slightly lower for the FOMC
+model. However, the difference appears negligible.

+
+
+Due to the higher number of parameters, and the lower number of degrees of

+model (3.6%) than for the SFO model (3.4%). Additionally, the covariance
+matrix can not be obtained, indicating overparameterisation of the model.
+As a consequence, no standard errors for transformed parameters nor

+
+The chi^2 error level of 14% suggests that the model does not fit very well.
+This is also obvious from the plots of the fit and the residuals.
+
+
+```r
+par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
+plot(m.L2.SFO)
+mkinresplot(m.L2.SFO)
+```
+
+![plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-9](figure/unnamed-chunk-9.png)
+
+
+In the FOCUS kinetics report, it is stated that there is no apparent systematic
+error observed from the residual plot up to the measured DT90 (approximately at
+day 5), and there is an underestimation beyond that point.
+
+We may add that it is difficult to judge the random nature of the residuals just
+from the three samplings at days 0, 1 and 3. Also, it is not clear _a
+priori_ why a consistent underestimation after the approximate DT90 should be
+irrelevant. However, this can be rationalised by the fact that the FOCUS fate
+models generally only implement SFO kinetics.
+
+For comparison, the FOMC model is fitted as well, and the chi^2 error level
+is checked.

+
+
+The error level at which the chi^2 test passes is much lower in this case.
+Therefore, the FOMC model provides a better description of the data, as less
+experimental error has to be assumed in order to explain the data.
+
+Fitting the four parameter DFOP model further reduces the chi^2 error level.
+

+
+
+Here, the DFOP model is clearly the best-fit model for dataset L2 based on the
+chi^2 error level criterion. However, the failure to calculate the covariance
+matrix indicates that the parameter estimates correlate excessively. Therefore,
+the FOMC model may be preferred for this dataset.

+
+FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_Z)
+@
+
+\section{Parent compound and one metabolite}
+
+The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. As the
+simultaneous fit of parent and the first metabolite is usually straightforward,
+Step 1 (SFO for parent only) is skipped here. We start with the model 2a,
+with formation and decline of metabolite Z1 and the pathway from parent
+directly to sink included (default in mkin).
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_1, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.2a <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1"),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.2a <- mkinfit(Z.2a, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.2a)
+summary(m.Z.2a, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+As obvious from the summary, the kinetic rate constant from parent compound Z to sink
+is negligible. Accordingly, the exact magnitude of the fitted parameter
+\texttt{log k\_Z\_sink} is ill-defined and the covariance matrix is not returned.
+This suggests, in agreement with the analysis in the FOCUS kinetics report, to simplify
+the model by removing the pathway to sink.
+
+A similar result can be obtained when formation fractions are used in the model formulation:
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_2, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.2a.ff <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1"),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO"),
+ use_of_ff = "max")
+
+m.Z.2a.ff <- mkinfit(Z.2a.ff, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.2a.ff)
+summary(m.Z.2a.ff, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+Here, the ilr transformed formation fraction fitted in the model takes a very large value,
+and the backtransformed formation fraction from parent Z to Z1 is practically unity. Again,
+the covariance matrix is not returned as the model is overparameterised.
+
+The simplified model is obtained by setting the list component \texttt{sink} to
+\texttt{FALSE}. This model definition is not supported when formation fractions
+are used.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_3, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.3 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.3 <- mkinfit(Z.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.3)
+summary(m.Z.3, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+\section{Including metabolites Z2 and Z3}
+
+As suggested in the FOCUS report, the pathway to sink was removed for metabolite Z1 as
+well in the next step. While this step appears questionable on the basis of the above results, it
+is followed here for the purpose of comparison. Also, in the FOCUS report, it is
+assumed that there is additional empirical evidence that Z1 quickly and exclusively
+hydrolyses to Z2.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_5, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.5 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.5 <- mkinfit(Z.5, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.5)
+summary(m.Z.5, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+Finally, metabolite Z3 is added to the model. The fit is accellerated
+by using the starting parameters from the previous fit.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_6, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.FOCUS <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z3"),
+ Z3 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.FOCUS <- mkinfit(Z.FOCUS, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin,
+ parms.ini = m.Z.5$bparms.ode,
+ quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.FOCUS)
+summary(m.Z.FOCUS, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+This is the fit corresponding to the final result chosen in Appendix 7 of the
+FOCUS report. The residual plots can be obtained by
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_residuals_6, echo=TRUE>>=
+par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
+mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z0", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z1", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z2", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z3", lpos = "bottomright")
+@
+
+\section{Using the SFORB model for parent and metabolites}
+
+As the FOCUS report states, there is a certain tailing of the time course of metabolite
+Z3. Also, the time course of the parent compound is not fitted very well using the
+SFO model, as residues at a certain low level remain.
+
+Therefore, an additional model is offered here, using the single first-order
+reversible binding (SFORB) model for metabolite Z3. As expected, the $\chi^2$
+error level is lower for metabolite Z3 using this model and the graphical
+fit for Z3 is improved. However, the covariance matrix is not returned.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_7, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.mkin.1 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z3"),
+ Z3 = list(type = "SFORB"))
+m.Z.mkin.1 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.1, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin,
+ parms.ini = c(k_Z0_Z1 = 0.5, k_Z1_Z2 = 0.3),
+ quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.mkin.1)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.1, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+Therefore, a further stepwise model building is performed starting from the
+stage of parent and one metabolite, starting from the assumption that the model
+fit for the parent compound can be improved by using the SFORB model.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_8, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.mkin.2 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFORB", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.mkin.2 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.2, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.mkin.2)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.2, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+When metabolite Z2 is added, the additional sink for Z1 is turned off again,
+for the same reasons as in the original analysis.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_9, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.mkin.3 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFORB", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2"),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.mkin.3 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.mkin.3)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.3, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+This results in a much better representation of the behaviour of the parent
+compound Z0.
+
+Finally, Z3 is added as well. This model appears overparameterised (no
+covariance matrix returned) if the sink for Z1 is left in the model.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_10, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.mkin.4 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFORB", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z3"),
+ Z3 = list(type = "SFO"))
+m.Z.mkin.4 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.4, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin,
+ parms.ini = c(k_Z1_Z2 = 0.05),
+ quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.mkin.4)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.4, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+The error level of the fit, but especially of metabolite Z3, can be improved if
+the SFORB model is chosen for this metabolite, as this model is capable of
+representing the tailing of the metabolite decline phase.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_11, echo=TRUE, fig.height=4>>=
+Z.mkin.5 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFORB", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+ Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+ Z2 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z3"),
+ Z3 = list(type = "SFORB"))
+m.Z.mkin.5 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.5, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin,
+ parms.ini = m.Z.mkin.4$bparms.ode[1:5],
+ quiet = TRUE)
+plot(m.Z.mkin.5)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.5, data = FALSE)
+@
+
+Looking at the confidence intervals of the SFORB model parameters of Z3, it is
+clear that nothing can be said about the degradation rate of Z3 towards the end
+of the experiment. However, this appears to be a feature of the data.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_residuals_11>>=
+par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
+mkinresplot(m.Z.mkin.5, "Z0", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.mkin.5, "Z1", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.mkin.5, "Z2", lpos = "bottomright")
+mkinresplot(m.Z.mkin.5, "Z3", lpos = "bottomright")
+@
+
+As expected, the residual plots are much more random than in the case of the
+all SFO model for which they were shown above. In conclusion, the model
+\texttt{Z.mkin.5} is proposed as the best-fit model for the dataset from
+Appendix 7 of the FOCUS report.

-\section{Kinetic evaluations for parent compounds}
-
-These examples are also evaluated in a parallel vignette of the
-\Rpackage{kinfit} package \citep{pkg:kinfit}. The datasets are from Appendix 3,
-of the FOCUS kinetics report \citep{FOCUS2006, FOCUSkinetics2011}.
-
-\subsection{Laboratory Data L1}
-
-The following code defines example dataset L1 from the FOCUS kinetics
-report, p. 284
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_L1_data, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE>>=
-library("mkin")
-FOCUS_2006_L1 = data.frame(
- t = rep(c(0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 30), each = 2),
- parent = c(88.3, 91.4, 85.6, 84.5, 78.9, 77.6,
- 72.0, 71.9, 50.3, 59.4, 47.0, 45.1,
- 27.7, 27.3, 10.0, 10.4, 2.9, 4.0))
-FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L1)
-@
-
-The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. Note that
-the model definitions contain the names of the observed variables in the data.
-In this case, there is only one variable called \texttt{parent}.
-
-<<Simple_models, echo=TRUE>>=
-SFO <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "SFO"))
-FOMC <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "FOMC"))
-DFOP <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "DFOP"))
-@
-
-The three models cover the first assumption of simple first order (SFO),
-the case of declining rate constant over time (FOMC) and the case of two
-different phases of the kinetics (DFOP). For a more detailed discussion
-of the models, please see the FOCUS kinetics report.
-
-The following two lines fit the model and produce the summary report
-of the model fit. This covers the numerical analysis given in the
-FOCUS report.
-
-<<L1_SFO, echo=TRUE>>=
-m.L1.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
-summary(m.L1.SFO)
-@
-
-A plot of the fit is obtained with the plot function for mkinfit objects.
-
-<<L1_SFO_plot, fig=TRUE, echo=TRUE, height=4>>=
-plot(m.L1.SFO)
-@
-
-The residual plot can be easily obtained by
-
-<<L1_SFO_residuals, fig=TRUE, echo=TRUE, height=4>>=
-mkinresplot(m.L1.SFO, ylab = "Observed", xlab = "Time")
-@
-
-For comparison, the FOMC model is fitted as well, and the $\chi^2$ error level
-is checked.
-
-<<L1_FOMC, echo=TRUE>>=
-m.L1.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L1_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
-summary(m.L1.FOMC)
-@
-
-Due to the higher number of parameters, and the lower number of degrees of freedom
-of the fit, the $\chi^2$ error level is actually higher for the FOMC model (3.6\%) than
-for the SFO model (3.4\%). Additionally, the covariance matrix can not be obtained,
-indicating overparameterisation of the model.
-
-The $\chi^2$ error levels reported in Appendix 3 and Appendix 7 to the FOCUS kinetics
-report are rounded to integer percentages and partly deviate by one percentage point
-from the results calculated by \texttt{mkin}. The reason for this is not known. However,
-\texttt{mkin} gives the same $\chi^2$ error levels as the \Rpackage{kinfit} package.
-Furthermore, the calculation routines of the kinfit package have been extensively
-compared to the results obtained by the KinGUI software, as documented in the
-kinfit package vignette. KinGUI is a widely used standard package in this field.
-Therefore, the reason for the difference was not investigated further.
-
-\subsection{Laboratory Data L2}
-
-The following code defines example dataset L2 from the FOCUS kinetics
-report, p. 287
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_L2_data, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE>>=
-FOCUS_2006_L2 = data.frame(
- t = rep(c(0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28), each = 2),
- parent = c(96.1, 91.8, 41.4, 38.7,
- 19.3, 22.3, 4.6, 4.6,
- 2.6, 1.2, 0.3, 0.6))
-FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L2)
-@
-
-Again, the SFO model is fitted and a summary is obtained.
-
-<<L2_SFO, echo=TRUE>>=
-m.L2.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet=TRUE)
-summary(m.L2.SFO)
-@
-
-The $\chi^2$ error level of 14\% suggests that the model does not fit very well.
-This is also obvious from the plots of the fit and the residuals.
-
-<<L2_SFO_plot, fig=TRUE, echo=TRUE, height=8>>=
-par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
-plot(m.L2.SFO)
-mkinresplot(m.L2.SFO)
-@
-
-In the FOCUS kinetics report, it is stated that there is no apparent systematic
-error observed from the residual plot up to the measured DT90 (approximately at
-day 5), and there is an underestimation beyond that point.
-
-We may add that it is difficult to judge the random nature of the residuals just
-from the three samplings at days 0, 1 and 3. Also, it is not clear \textit{a
-priori} why a consistent underestimation after the approximate DT90 should be
-irrelevant. However, this can be rationalised by the fact that the FOCUS fate
-models generally only implement SFO kinetics.
-
-For comparison, the FOMC model is fitted as well, and the $\chi^2$ error level
-is checked.
-
-<<L2_FOMC, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=8>>=
-m.L2.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
-plot(m.L2.FOMC)
-mkinresplot(m.L2.FOMC)
-summary(m.L2.FOMC, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-The error level at which the $\chi^2$ test passes is much lower in this case.
-Therefore, the FOMC model provides a better description of the data, as less
-experimental error has to be assumed in order to explain the data.
-
-Fitting the four parameter DFOP model further reduces the $\chi^2$ error level.
-
-<<L2_DFOP, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-m.L2.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.L2.DFOP)
-@
-
-Here, the default starting parameters for the DFOP model obviously do not lead
-to a reasonable solution. Therefore the fit is repeated with different starting
-parameters.
-
-<<L2_DFOP_2, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-m.L2.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L2_mkin,
- parms.ini = c(k1 = 1, k2 = 0.01, g = 0.8),
- quiet=TRUE)
-plot(m.L2.DFOP)
-summary(m.L2.DFOP, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-Here, the DFOP model is clearly the best-fit model for dataset L2 based on the
-$\chi^2$ error level criterion. However, the failure to calculate the covariance
-matrix indicates that the parameter estimates correlate excessively. Therefore,
-the FOMC model may be preferred for this dataset.
-
-\subsection{Laboratory Data L3}
-
-The following code defines example dataset L3 from the FOCUS kinetics report,
-p. 290.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_L3_data, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE>>=
-FOCUS_2006_L3 = data.frame(
- t = c(0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 91, 120),
- parent = c(97.8, 60, 51, 43, 35, 22, 15, 12))
-FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L3)
-@
-
-SFO model, summary and plot:
-
-<<L3_SFO, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-m.L3.SFO <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.L3.SFO)
-summary(m.L3.SFO)
-@
-
-The $\chi^2$ error level of 22\% as well as the plot suggest that the model
-does not fit very well.
-
-The FOMC model performs better:
-
-<<L3_FOMC, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-m.L3.FOMC <- mkinfit(FOMC, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.L3.FOMC)
-summary(m.L3.FOMC, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-The error level at which the $\chi^2$ test passes is 7\% in this case.
-
-Fitting the four parameter DFOP model further reduces the $\chi^2$ error level
-considerably:
-
-<<L3_DFOP, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-m.L3.DFOP <- mkinfit(DFOP, FOCUS_2006_L3_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.L3.DFOP)
-summary(m.L3.DFOP, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-Here, a look to the model plot, the confidence intervals of the parameters
-and the correlation matrix suggest that the parameter estimates are reliable, and
-the DFOP model can be used as the best-fit model based on the $\chi^2$ error
-level criterion for laboratory data L3.
-
-\subsection{Laboratory Data L4}
-
-The following code defines example dataset L4 from the FOCUS kinetics
-report, p. 293
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_L4_data, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE>>=
-FOCUS_2006_L4 = data.frame(
- t = c(0, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 91, 120),
- parent = c(96.6, 96.3, 94.3, 88.8, 74.9, 59.9, 53.5, 49.0))
-FOCUS_2006_L4_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_L4)
-@
-
-SFO model, summary and plot:

- Z0 = c(100, 81.7, 70.4, 51.1, 41.2, 6.6, 4.6, 3.9, 4.6, 4.3, 6.8,

-
-FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin <- mkin_wide_to_long(FOCUS_2006_Z)
-@
-
-The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. As the
-simultaneous fit of parent and the first metabolite is usually straightforward,
-Step 1 (SFO for parent only) is skipped here. We start with the model 2a,
-with formation and decline of metabolite Z1 and the pathway from parent
-directly to sink included (default in mkin).
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_1, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.2a <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1"),
- Z1 = list(type = "SFO"))
-m.Z.2a <- mkinfit(Z.2a, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.Z.2a)
-summary(m.Z.2a, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-As obvious from the summary, the kinetic rate constant from parent compound Z to sink
-is negligible. Accordingly, the exact magnitude of the fitted parameter
-\texttt{log k\_Z\_sink} is ill-defined and the covariance matrix is not returned.
-This suggests, in agreement with the analysis in the FOCUS kinetics report, to simplify
-the model by removing the pathway to sink.
-
-A similar result can be obtained when formation fractions are used in the model formulation:
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_2, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.2a.ff <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1"),
- Z1 = list(type = "SFO"), use_of_ff = "max")
-
-m.Z.2a.ff <- mkinfit(Z.2a.ff, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.Z.2a.ff)
-summary(m.Z.2a.ff, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-Here, the ilr transformed formation fraction fitted in the model takes a very large value,
-and the backtransformed formation fraction from parent Z to Z1 is practically unity. Again,
-the covariance matrix is not returned as the model is overparameterised.
-
-The simplified model is obtained by setting the list component \texttt{sink} to
-\texttt{FALSE}. This model definition is not supported when formation fractions
-are used.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_3, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.3 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
- Z1 = list(type = "SFO"))
-m.Z.3 <- mkinfit(Z.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, parms.ini = c(k_Z0_Z1 = 0.5),
- quiet = TRUE)
-#m.Z.3 <- mkinfit(Z.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, solution_type = "deSolve")
-plot(m.Z.3)
-summary(m.Z.3, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-The first attempt to fit the model failed, as the default solution type chosen
-by mkinfit is based on eigenvalues, and the system defined by the starting
-parameters is identified as being singular to the solver. This is caused by the
-fact that the rate constants for both state variables are the same using the
-default starting paramters. Setting a different starting value for one of the
-parameters overcomes this. Alternatively, the \Rpackage{deSolve} based model
-solution can be chosen, at the cost of a bit more computing time.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_4, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.4a <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),
- Z1 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z2"),
- Z2 = list(type = "SFO"))
-m.Z.4a <- mkinfit(Z.4a, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, parms.ini = c(k_Z0_Z1 = 0.5),
- quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.Z.4a)
-summary(m.Z.4a, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-As suggested in the FOCUS report, the pathway to sink was removed for metabolite Z1 as
-well in the next step. While this step appears questionable on the basis of the above results, it
-is followed here for the purpose of comparison. Also, in the FOCUS report, it is
-assumed that there is additional empirical evidence that Z1 quickly and exclusively
-hydrolyses to Z2. Again, in order to avoid a singular system when using default starting
-parameters, the starting parameter for the pathway without sink term has to be adapted.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_5, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=

-plot(m.Z.5)
-summary(m.Z.5, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-Finally, metabolite Z3 is added to the model.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_6, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.FOCUS <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),

- quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.Z.FOCUS)
-summary(m.Z.FOCUS, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-This is the fit corresponding to the final result chosen in Appendix 7 of the
-FOCUS report. The residual plots can be obtained by
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_residuals_6, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE>>=

-mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z0", lpos = "bottomright")

-mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z2", lpos = "bottomright")
-mkinresplot(m.Z.FOCUS, "Z3", lpos = "bottomright")
-@
-
-As the FOCUS report states, there is a certain tailing of the time course of metabolite
-Z3. Also, the time course of the parent compound is not fitted very well using the
-SFO model, as residues at a certain low level remain.
-
-Therefore, an additional model is offered here, using the single first-order
-reversible binding (SFORB) model for metabolite Z3. As expected, the $\chi^2$
-error level is lower for metabolite Z3 using this model and the graphical
-fit for Z3 is improved. However, the covariance matrix is not returned.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_7, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=
-Z.mkin.1 <- mkinmod(Z0 = list(type = "SFO", to = "Z1", sink = FALSE),

- quiet = TRUE)
-plot(m.Z.mkin.1)

-@
-
-Therefore, a further stepwise model building is performed starting from the
-stage of parent and one metabolite, starting from the assumption that the model
-fit for the parent compound can be improved by using the SFORB model.
-

-plot(m.Z.mkin.2)
-summary(m.Z.mkin.2, data = FALSE)
-@
-
-When metabolite Z2 is added, the additional sink for Z1 is turned off again,
-for the same reasons as in the original analysis.
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_9, echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, height=4>>=

-@
-
-This results in a much better representation of the behaviour of the parent
-compound Z0.
-
-Finally, Z3 is added as well. This model appears overparameterised (no
-covariance matrix returned) if the sink for Z1 is left in the model.

-The error level of the fit, but especially of metabolite Z3, can be improved if
-the SFORB model is chosen for this metabolite, as this model is capable of
-representing the tailing of the metabolite decline phase.
-
-Using the SFORB additionally for Z1 or Z2 did not further improve the result.

-\begin{abstract}
-In the regulatory evaluation of chemical substances like plant protection
-products (pesticides), biocides and other chemicals, degradation data play an
-important role. For the evaluation of pesticide degradation experiments,
-detailed guidance has been developed, based on nonlinear optimisation.
-The \RR{} add-on package \Rpackage{mkin} implements fitting some of the models
-recommended in this guidance from within R and calculates some statistical
-measures for data series within one or more compartments, for parent and
-metabolites.

-\section{Introduction}
-\label{intro}
-
-Many approaches are possible regarding the evaluation of chemical degradation
-data. The \Rpackage{kinfit} package \citep{pkg:kinfit} in \RR{}
-\citep{rcore2013} implements the approach recommended in the kinetics report
-provided by the FOrum for Co-ordination of pesticide fate models and their
-USe \citep{FOCUS2006, FOCUSkinetics2011} for simple data series for one parent
-compound in one compartment.
-
-The \Rpackage{mkin} package \citep{pkg:mkin} extends this approach to data series
-with metabolites and more than one compartment and includes the possibility
-for back reactions.
-
-\section{Example}
-\label{exam}
-
-In the following, requirements for data formatting are explained. Then the
-procedure for fitting the four kinetic models recommended by the FOCUS group
-to an example dataset for parent only given in the FOCUS kinetics report is
-illustrated. The explanations are kept rather verbose in order to lower the
-barrier for \RR{} newcomers.
-
-\subsection{Data format}
-
-The following listing shows example dataset C from the FOCUS kinetics
-report as distributed with the \Rpackage{mkin} package
-
-<<FOCUS_2006_C_data, echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE>>=
-library("mkin")
-FOCUS_2006_C
-@
-
-Note that the data needs to be in the format of a data frame containing a
-variable \Robject{name} specifying the observed variable, indicating the
-compound name and, if applicable, the compartment, a variable \Robject{time}
-containing sampling times, and a numeric variable \Robject{value} specifying
-the observed value of the variable. If a further variable \Robject{error}
-is present, this will be used to give different weights to the data points
-(the higher the error, the lower the weight, see the help page of the
-\Robject{modCost} function of the \Rpackage{FME} package \citep{soetaert10}).
-Replicate measurements are not recorded in extra columns but simply appended,
-leading to multiple occurrences of the sampling times \Robject{time}.
-
-Small to medium size dataset can be conveniently entered directly as \RR{} code
-as shown in the following listing
-
-<<data_format, echo=TRUE>>=
-example_data <- data.frame(
- name = rep("parent", 9),
- time = c(0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 63, 91, 119),
- value = c(85.1, 57.9, 29.9, 14.6, 9.7, 6.6, 4, 3.9, 0.6)
-)

-
-\subsection{Model definition}
-
-The next task is to define the model to be fitted to the data. In order to
-facilitate this task, a convenience function \Robject{mkinmod} is available.
-
-<<model_definition, echo=TRUE>>=
-SFO <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "SFO"))
-SFORB <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "SFORB"))
-SFO_SFO <- mkinmod(
- parent = list(type = "SFO", to = "m1", sink = TRUE),
- m1 = list(type = "SFO"))
-SFORB_SFO <- mkinmod(
- parent = list(type = "SFORB", to = "m1", sink = TRUE),
- m1 = list(type = "SFO"))
-@
-
-The model definitions given above define sets of linear first-order ordinary
-differential equations. In these cases, a coefficient matrix is also returned.
-
-Other models that include time on the right-hand side of the differential
-equation are the first-order multi-compartment (FOMC) model and the
-Hockey-Stick (HS) model. At present, these models can only be used only for the
-parent compound.
-
-\subsection{Fitting the model}
-
-Then the model parameters should be fitted to the data. The function
-\Robject{mkinfit} internally creates a cost function using \Robject{modCost}
-from the \Rpackage{FME} package and then produces a fit using \Robject{modFit}
-from the same package. In cases of linear first-order differential
-equations, the solution used for calculating the cost function is based
-on the fundamental system of the coefficient matrix, as proposed by
-\citet{bates88}.
-
-<<model_fitting, echo=TRUE>>=
-SFO.fit <- mkinfit(SFO, FOCUS_2006_C)
-summary(SFO.fit)
-SFORB.fit <- mkinfit(SFORB, FOCUS_2006_C)
-summary(SFORB.fit)
-SFO_SFO.fit <- mkinfit(SFO_SFO, FOCUS_2006_D)
-summary(SFO_SFO.fit, data=FALSE)
-SFORB_SFO.fit <- mkinfit(SFORB_SFO, FOCUS_2006_D)
-summary(SFORB_SFO.fit, data=FALSE)

+\begin{abstract}
+In the regulatory evaluation of chemical substances like plant protection
+products (pesticides), biocides and other chemicals, degradation data play an
+important role. For the evaluation of pesticide degradation experiments,
+detailed guidance has been developed, based on nonlinear optimisation.
+The \RR{} add-on package \Rpackage{mkin} implements fitting some of the models
+recommended in this guidance from within R and calculates some statistical
+measures for data series within one or more compartments, for parent and
+metabolites.

+\section{Introduction}
+\label{intro}
+
+Many approaches are possible regarding the evaluation of chemical degradation
+data. The \Rpackage{kinfit} package \citep{pkg:kinfit} in \RR{}
+\citep{rcore2013} implements the approach recommended in the kinetics report
+provided by the FOrum for Co-ordination of pesticide fate models and their
+USe \citep{FOCUS2006, FOCUSkinetics2011} for simple data series for one parent
+compound in one compartment.
+
+The \Rpackage{mkin} package \citep{pkg:mkin} extends this approach to data series
+with metabolites and more than one compartment and includes the possibility
+for back reactions.
