<p>The R add-on package gmkin provides a browser based graphical interface for performing kinetic evaluations of degradation data using the <a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static">mkin package</a>. While the use of gmkin should be largely self-explanatory, this manual may serve as a functionality overview and reference.</p>
<p>For system requirements and installation instructions, please refer to the <a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/gmkin_static">gmkin homepage</a>.</p>

<p>A gmkin project workspace contains datasets, kinetic models for fitting, and so-called fits, i.e. the results of fitting models to data. The project area also shows the current working directory, where project workspace files are saved using the file extension <code>.gmkinws</code>.</p>

Or, if the new data should have a different structure, e.g. different sampling times, observed variables and replicates, click on “New dataset”, edit the dataset title, sampling times, number of replicates and the list of observed variables, and press the button ‘Generate grid for entering kinetic data’, in order to prepare the Data editor to the right.</p>
<p>For sampling times and short names of the relevant compounds, a comma separated list must be entered, with a space after each comma. An example of filling out the respective fields is shown below.</p>

<p>The most important fit options of the <code>mkinfit</code> function can be set via the controls in the fit configuration area shown above. If the “plot” checkbox is checked (and on Windows, the R GUI is used for running gmkin), an R graphics device started via the R console shows the fitting progress, i.e. the change of the model solution together with the data during the optimisation.</p>
<p>The “solution_type” can either be “auto”, which means that the most effective solution method is chosen for the model, in the order of “analytical” (for parent only degradation data), “eigen” (for differential equation models with only linear terms, i.e. without FOMC, DFOP or HS submodels) or “deSolve”, which can handle all model definitions generated by the <code>mkin</code> package. If a compiler (gcc, on Windows install the ‘Rtools’ software package), then the “deSolve” solution method is alway chosen when there are more than one variables in the model.</p>
<p>The parameters “atol” and “rtol” are only effective if the solution type is “deSolve”. They control the precision of the iterative numerical solution of the differential equation model.</p>

Nevertheless may help a beginner to understand how to use gmkin. At the same time, the gmkin author uses them as test cases to make sure that the most important functionality is not broken before releasing a new version.</p>
