<p>The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how nonlinear
hierarchical models (NLHM) based on the parent degradation models SFO,
FOMC, DFOP and HS can be fitted with the mkin package.</p>
<p>It was assembled in the course of work package 1.1 of Project Number
173340 (Application of nonlinear hierarchical models to the kinetic
evaluation of chemical degradation data) of the German Environment
Agency carried out in 2022 and 2023.</p>
<p>The mkin package is used in version 1.2.5. It contains the test data
and the functions used in the evaluations. The <code>saemix</code>
package is used as a backend for fitting the NLHM, but is also loaded to
make the convergence plot function available.</p>
<p>This document is processed with the <code>knitr</code> package, which
also provides the <code>kable</code> function that is used to improve
the display of tabular data in R markdown documents. For parallel
processing, the <code>parallel</code> package is used.</p>

</h2>
<p>The test data are available in the mkin package as an object of class
<code>mkindsg</code> (mkin dataset group) under the identifier
<code>dimethenamid_2018</code>. The following preprocessing steps are
still necessary:</p>
<ul>
<li>The data available for the enantiomer dimethenamid-P (DMTAP) are
renamed to have the same substance name as the data for the racemic
mixture dimethenamid (DMTA). The reason for this is that no difference
between their degradation behaviour was identified in the EU risk
assessment.</li>
<li>The data for transformation products and unnecessary columns are
discarded</li>
<li>The observation times of each dataset are multiplied with the
corresponding normalisation factor also available in the dataset, in
order to make it possible to describe all datasets with a single set of
parameters that are independent of temperature</li>
<li>Finally, datasets observed in the same soil (<code>Elliot 1</code>
and <code>Elliot 2</code>) are combined, resulting in dimethenamid
(DMTA) data from six soils.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following commented R code performs this preprocessing.</p>

<p>The following code fits eight versions of hierarchical models to the
data, using SFO, FOMC, DFOP and HS for the parent compound, and using
either constant variance or two-component error for the error model. The
default parameter distribution model in mkin allows for variation of all
degradation parameters across the assumed population of soils. In other
words, each degradation parameter is associated with a random effect as
a first step. The <code>mhmkin</code> function makes it possible to fit
all eight versions in parallel (given a sufficient number of computing
cores being available) to save execution time.</p>
<p>Convergence plots and summaries for these fits are shown in the
appendix.</p>

<p>The DFOP model is preferred here, as it has a better mechanistic
basis for batch experiments with constant incubation conditions. Also,
it shows the lowest AIC and BIC values in the first set of fits when
combined with the two-component error model. Therefore, the DFOP model
was selected for further refinements of the fits with the aim to make
the model fully identifiable.</p>

<p>According to the <code>illparms</code> function, the fitted standard
deviation of the second kinetic rate constant <code>k2</code> is
ill-defined in both DFOP fits. This suggests that different values would
be obtained for this standard deviation when using different starting
values.</p>
<p>The thus identified overparameterisation is addressed by removing the
random effect for <code>k2</code> from the parameter model.</p>

<p>which is not the case. Below, the refined model is compared with the

<p>The AIC and BIC criteria are lower after removal of the ill-defined
random effect for <code>k2</code>. The p value of the likelihood ratio
test is much greater than 0.05, indicating that the model with the
higher likelihood (here the model with random effects for all
degradation parameters <code>f_saem[["DFOP", "tc"]]</code>) does not fit
significantly better than the model with the lower likelihood (the
reduced model <code>f_saem_dfop_tc_no_ranef_k2</code>).</p>
<p>Therefore, AIC, BIC and likelihood ratio test suggest the use of the
reduced model.</p>

</h2>
<p>Fitting the four parent degradation models SFO, FOMC, DFOP and HS as
part of hierarchical model fits with two different error models and
normal distributions of the transformed degradation parameters works
without technical problems. The biphasic models DFOP and HS gave the
best fit to the data, but the default parameter distribution model was
not fully identifiable. Removing the random effect for the second
kinetic rate constant of the DFOP model resulted in a reduced model that
was fully identifiable and showed the lowest values for the model
selection criteria AIC and BIC. The reliability of the identification of
all model parameters was confirmed using multiple starting values.</p>
