<p>Here we use the assumptions 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.</p>
<p>Since mkin version 0.9-32 (July 2014), we can use shorthand notation
like <code>"SFO"</code> for parent only degradation models. 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.</p>

<p>We get a warning that the default optimisation algorithm
<code>Port</code> did not converge, which is an indication that the
model is overparameterised, <em>i.e.</em> contains too many parameters
that are ill-defined as a consequence.</p>
<p>And in fact, due to the higher number of parameters, and the lower
number of degrees of freedom of the fit, the <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level is actually higher for
the FOMC model (3.6%) than for the SFO model (3.4%). Additionally, the
parameters <code>log_alpha</code> and <code>log_beta</code> internally
fitted in the model have excessive confidence intervals, that span more
than 25 orders of magnitude (!) when backtransformed to the scale of
<code>alpha</code> and <code>beta</code>. Also, the t-test for
significant difference from zero does not indicate such a significant
difference, with p-values greater than 0.1, and finally, the parameter
correlation of <code>log_alpha</code> and <code>log_beta</code> is
1.000, clearly indicating that the model is overparameterised.</p>
<p>The <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> 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 <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error
levels as the kinfit package and 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
was the first widely used standard package in this field. Also, the
calculation of <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error levels
was compared with KinGUII, CAKE and DegKin manager in a project
sponsored by the German Umweltbundesamt <span class="citation">(Ranke
2014)</span>.</p>

<p>The <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level of 14%
suggests that the model does not fit very well. This is also obvious
from the plots of the fit, in which we have included the residual
plot.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <em>a priori</em> 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.</p>

<p>The <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level of 21% as
well as the plot suggest that the SFO model does not fit very well. The
FOMC model performs better, with an error level at which the <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> test passes of 7%. Fitting the
four parameter DFOP model further reduces the <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level considerably.</p>

<p>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 <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error
level criterion for laboratory data L3.</p>
<p>This is also an example where the standard t-test for the parameter
<code>g_ilr</code> is misleading, as it tests for a significant
difference from zero. In this case, zero appears to be the correct value
for this parameter, and the confidence interval for the backtransformed
parameter <code>g</code> is quite narrow.</p>
