<ul><li><p>‘vignettes/FOCUS_L.rmd’: Remove an outdated note referring to a failure to calculate the covariance matrix for DFOP with the L2 dataset. Since 0.9.45.5 the covariance matrix is available</p></li>
<li><p>‘vignettes/web_only/benchmarks.rmd’: Add the first benchmark data using my laptop system, therefore add the CPU when showing the benchmark results.</p></li>
<li><p>‘dimethenamid_2018’: Update example code to use saemix</p></li>
<li><p>‘CAKE_export’: Check for validity of the map argument, updates</p></li>
<li><p>‘saem()’: Slightly improve speed in the case that no analytical solution for saemix is implemented, activate a test of the respective code</p></li>
<li><p>‘mean_degparms’: New argument ‘default_log_parms’ that makes it possible to supply a surrogate value (default) for log parameters that fail the t-test</p></li>
<li><p>‘plot.mixed.mmkin’: Pass the frame argument also to residual plots, take the ‘default_log_parms’ argument for ‘mean_degparms’ used for constructing approximate population curves, plot population curve last to avoid that it is covered by data</p></li>
<li><p>‘plot.mkinfit’: Respect argument ‘maxabs’ for residual plots, and make it possible to give ylim as a list, for row layouts</p></li>

<ul><li><p>Reintroduce the interface to saemix version 3.0 (now on CRAN), in particular the generic function ‘saem’ with a generator ‘saem.mmkin’, currently using ‘saemix_model’ and ‘saemix_data’, summary and plot methods</p></li>
<li><p>‘mean_degparms’: New argument ‘test_log_parms’ that makes the function only consider log-transformed parameters where the untransformed parameters pass the t-test for a certain confidence level. This can be used to obtain more plausible starting parameters for the different mixed-effects model backends</p></li>

<ul><li><p>Implement a likelihood ratio test as a method for ‘lrtest’ from the lmtest package</p></li>
<li><p>Add an ‘update’ method for mkinfit objects which remembers fitted parameters if appropriate</p></li>
<li><p>Add a ‘residuals’ method for mkinfit objects that supports scaling based on the error model</p></li>
<li><p>Fix a bug in ‘mkinfit’ that prevented summaries of objects fitted with fixed parameters to be generated</p></li>
<li><p>Add ‘parms’ and ‘confint’ methods for mkinfit objects. Confidence intervals based on the quadratic approximation as in the summary, and based on the profile likelihood</p></li>
<li><p>Move long-running tests to tests/testthat/slow with a separate test log. They currently take around 7 minutes on my system</p></li>
<li><p>‘mkinfit’: Clean the code and return functions to calculate the log-likelihood and the sum of squared residuals</p></li>

<ul><li><p>Several algorithms for minimization of the negative log-likelihood for non-constant error models (two-component and variance by variable). In the case the error model is constant variance, least squares is used as this is more stable. The default algorithm ‘d_3’ tries direct minimization and a three-step procedure, and returns the model with the highest likelihood.</p></li>
<li><p>The argument ‘reweight.method’ to mkinfit and mmkin is now obsolete, use ‘error_model’ and ‘error_model_algorithm’ instead</p></li>
<li><p>Add a test that checks if we get the best known AIC for parent only fits to 12 test datasets. Add these test datasets for this purpose.</p></li>
<li><p>New function ‘mkinerrplot’. This function is also used for residual plots in ‘plot.mmkin’ if the argument ‘resplot = “errmod”’ is given, and in ‘plot.mkinfit’ if ‘show_errplot’ is set to TRUE.</p></li>
<li><p>Remove dependency on FME, only use nlminb for optimisation (‘Port’ algorithm). I cannot remember cases where one of the other optimisation algorithms was preferable, except that I sometime used Levenberg-Marquardt for speed in cases where I did not expect to get trapped in a local minimum.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the numDeriv package to calculate hessians. This results in slightly different confidence intervals, takes a bit longer, but is apparently more robust</p></li>
<li><p>Add a simple benchmark vignette to document the impact on performance.</p></li>
<li><p>The code for manual weighting was removed. This functionality might get added again at a later time. For the time being, please use an earlier version, e.g. 0.9.48.1 if you want to do manual weighting.</p></li>
<li><p>The fitting time reported in the summary now includes the time used for calculation of the hessians</p></li>
<li><p>Adapt tests</p></li>
<li><p>Fix an error in the FOCUS chi2 error level calculations that occurred if parameters were specified in parms.ini that were not in the model. A warning was already issued, but when fitting in parallel via mmkin this could go unnoticed.</p></li>

<ul><li><p>The number of degrees of freedom is difficult to define in the case of ilr transformation of formation fractions. Now for each source compartment the number of ilr parameters (=number of optimised parameters) is divided by the number of pathways to metabolites (=number of affected data series) which leads to fractional degrees of freedom in some cases.</p></li>
<li><p>The default for the initial value for the first state value is now taken from the mean of the observations at time zero, if available.</p></li>
<li><p>The kinetic model can alternatively be specified with a shorthand name for parent only degradation models, e.g. <code>SFO</code>, or <code>DFOP</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Optimisation method, number of model evaluations and time elapsed during optimisation are given in the summary of mkinfit objects.</p></li>
<li><p>The maximum number of iterations in the optimisation algorithm can be specified using the argument <code>maxit.modFit</code> to the mkinfit function.</p></li>
<li><p>mkinfit gives a warning when the fit does not converge (does not apply to SANN method). This warning is included in the summary.</p></li>

<ul><li><p>The vignette FOCUS_Z has been simplified to use formation fractions with turning off the sink, and slightly amended to use the new versions of DT50 values calculated since mkin 0.9-29.</p></li>
<li><p>All vignettes have been rebuilt so they reflect all changes.</p></li>
<li><p>The ChangeLog was renamed to NEWS.md and the entries were converted to markdown syntax compatible with the <code>tools::news()</code> function built into R.</p></li>
<li><p>The test suite was overhauled. Tests of the DFOP and SFORB models with dataset FOCUS_2006_A were removed, as they were too much dependent on the optimisation algorithm and/or starting parameters, because the dataset is SFO (compare kinfit vignette).</p></li>
<li><p>Also, the Schaefer complex case can now be fitted using formation fractions, and with the ‘Port’ optimisation method we also fit A2 in the same way as published in the Piacenza paper.</p></li>
<li><p>Some more checks were introduced to <code><a href="../reference/mkinfit.html">mkinfit()</a></code>, leading to warnings or stopping execution if unsupported combinations of methods and parameters are requested.</p></li>

<ul><li><p>Get rid of the optimisation step in <code>mkinerrmin</code> - this was unnecessary. Thanks to KinGUII for the inspiration - actually this is equation 6-2 in FOCUS kinetics p. 91 that I had overlooked originally</p></li>
<li><p>Fix <code>plot.mkinfit</code> as it passed graphical arguments like main to the solver</p></li>
<li><p>Do not use <code>plot=TRUE</code> in <code><a href="../reference/mkinfit.html">mkinfit()</a></code> example</p></li>
<li><p>The first successful fits in the not so simple GUI</p></li>
<li><p>Fix iteratively reweighted least squares for the case of many metabolites</p></li>
<li><p>Unify naming of initial values of state variables</p></li>
<li><p>Unify naming in dataframes of optimised and fixed parameters in the summary</p></li>
<li><p>Show the weighting method for residuals in the summary</p></li>
<li><p>Correct the output of the data in the case of manual weighting</p></li>
<li><p>Implement IRLS assuming different variances for observed variables</p></li>
<li><p>Do not use 0 values at time zero for chi2 error level calculations. This is the way it is done in KinGUII and it makes sense. It does impact the chi2 error levels in the output. Generally they seem to be lower for metabolites now, presumably because the mean of the observed values is higher</p></li>
