<meta property="og:description" content="This function maximises the likelihood of the observed data using
  the Port algorithm nlminb, and the specified initial or fixed
  parameters and starting values.  In each step of the optimsation, the kinetic
  model is solved using the function mkinpredict. The parameters
  of the selected error model are fitted simultaneously with the degradation
  model parameters, as both of them are arguments of the likelihood function.
Per default, parameters in the kinetic models are internally transformed in
  order to better satisfy the assumption of a normal distribution of their
  estimators." />

    <p>This function maximises the likelihood of the observed data using
  the Port algorithm <code><a href='https://rdrr.io/r/stats/nlminb.html'>nlminb</a></code>, and the specified initial or fixed
  parameters and starting values.  In each step of the optimsation, the kinetic
  model is solved using the function <code><a href='mkinpredict.html'>mkinpredict</a></code>. The parameters
  of the selected error model are fitted simultaneously with the degradation
  model parameters, as both of them are arguments of the likelihood function.</p>
<p>Per default, parameters in the kinetic models are internally transformed in
  order to better satisfy the assumption of a normal distribution of their
  estimators.</p>

    column must be named "value" and contain the observed values. Zero values
    in the "value" column will be removed, with a warning, in order to
    avoid problems with fitting the two-component error model. This is not
    expected to be a problem, because in general, values of zero are not

    gives an error.</p>
<p>It is possible to only specify a subset of the parameters that the model
    needs. You can use the parameter lists "bparms.ode" from a previously
    fitted model, which contains the differential equation parameters from this

    the initial value of the first model variable to the mean of the time zero

    degradation experiments with only one state variable, i.e. with no
    metabolites. The default is "auto", which uses "analytical" if possible,

    log-likelihood and - independently - also use the three step algorithm
    described below. The fit with the higher likelihood is returned.</p>
<p>The algorithm "direct" will directly minimize the negative
    log-likelihood.</p>
<p>The algorithm "twostep" will minimize the negative log-likelihood
    after an initial unweighted least squares optimisation step.</p>
<p>The algorithm "threestep" starts with unweighted least squares,
    then optimizes only the error model using the degradation model
    parameters found, and then minimizes the negative log-likelihood
    with free degradation and error model parameters.</p>
<p>The algorithm "fourstep" starts with unweighted least squares,
    then optimizes only the error model using the degradation model
    parameters found, then optimizes the degradation model again
    with fixed error model parameters, and finally minimizes the negative
    log-likelihood with free degradation and error model parameters.</p>
<p>The algorithm "IRLS" (Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares) starts with
    unweighted least squares, and then iterates optimization of the error model
    parameters and subsequent
    optimization of the degradation model using those error model parameters,
    until the error model parameters converge.</p>
