+\section{Parent compound and one metabolite}
+
+The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. As the 
+simultaneous fit of parent and the first metabolite is usually straightforward,
+Step 1 (SFO for parent only) is skipped here. We start with the model 2a, 
+with formation and decline of metabolite Z1 and the pathway from parent
+directly to sink included (default in mkin).
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_1, echo=TRUE, fig.height=6>>=
+Z.2a <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1"),
+                Z1 = mkinsub("SFO"))
+m.Z.2a <- mkinfit(Z.2a, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.2a)
+summary(m.Z.2a, data = FALSE)$bpar
+@
+
+As obvious from the parameter summary (the \texttt{bpar} component of the 
+summary), the kinetic rate constant from parent compound Z to sink
+is negligible. Accordingly, the exact magnitude of the fitted parameter 
+\texttt{log k\_Z0\_sink} is ill-defined and the covariance matrix is not
+returned (not shown, would be visible in the complete summary). 
+This suggests, in agreement with the analysis in the FOCUS kinetics report, to
+simplify the model by removing the pathway to sink.
+
+A similar result can be obtained when formation fractions are used in the model 
+formulation:
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_2, echo=TRUE, fig.height=6>>=
+Z.2a.ff <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1"),
+                   Z1 = mkinsub("SFO"),
+                   use_of_ff = "max")
+
+m.Z.2a.ff <- mkinfit(Z.2a.ff, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.2a.ff)
+summary(m.Z.2a.ff, data = FALSE)$bpar
+@
+
+Here, the ilr transformed formation fraction fitted in the model takes a very
+large value, and the backtransformed formation fraction from parent Z to Z1 is
+practically unity. Again, the covariance matrix is not returned as the model is
+overparameterised. 
+
+The simplified model is obtained by setting the list component \texttt{sink} to
+\texttt{FALSE}.\footnote{If the model formulation without formation fractions
+is used, the same effect can be obtained by fixing the parameter \texttt{k\_Z\_sink}
+to a value of zero.} 
+
+In the following, we use the parameterisation with formation fractions in order
+to be able to compare with the results in the FOCUS guidance, and as it 
+makes it easier to use parameters obtained in a previous fit when adding a further 
+metabolite.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_3, echo=TRUE, fig.height=6>>=
+Z.3 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+               Z1 = mkinsub("SFO"), use_of_ff = "max")
+m.Z.3 <- mkinfit(Z.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.3)
+summary(m.Z.3, data = FALSE)$bpar
+@
+
+As there is only one transformation product for Z0 and no pathway
+to sink, the formation fraction is internally fixed to unity.
+
+\section{Including metabolites Z2 and Z3}
+
+As suggested in the FOCUS report, the pathway to sink was removed for metabolite Z1 as
+well in the next step. While this step appears questionable on the basis of the above results, it 
+is followed here for the purpose of comparison. Also, in the FOCUS report, it is 
+assumed that there is additional empirical evidence that Z1 quickly and exclusively
+hydrolyses to Z2. 
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_5, echo=TRUE, fig.height=7>>=
+Z.5 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+               Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+               Z2 = mkinsub("SFO"), use_of_ff = "max")
+m.Z.5 <- mkinfit(Z.5, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.5)
+@
+
+Finally, metabolite Z3 is added to the model. We use the optimised
+differential equation parameter values from the previous fit in order to
+accelerate the optimization.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_6, echo=TRUE, fig.height=8>>=
+Z.FOCUS <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+                   Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+                   Z2 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z3"),
+                   Z3 = mkinsub("SFO"), 
+                   use_of_ff = "max")
+m.Z.FOCUS <- mkinfit(Z.FOCUS, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, 
+                     parms.ini = m.Z.5$bparms.ode,
+                     quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.FOCUS)
+summary(m.Z.FOCUS, data = FALSE)$bpar
+endpoints(m.Z.FOCUS)
+@
+
+This fit corresponds to the final result chosen in Appendix 7 of the FOCUS
+report. Confidence intervals returned by mkin are based on internally
+transformed parameters, however.
+
+\section{Using the SFORB model for parent and metabolites}
+
+As the FOCUS report states, there is a certain tailing of the time course of metabolite 
+Z3. Also, the time course of the parent compound is not fitted very well using the 
+SFO model, as residues at a certain low level remain.
+
+Therefore, an additional model is offered here, using the single first-order 
+reversible binding (SFORB) model for metabolite Z3. As expected, the $\chi^2$
+error level is lower for metabolite Z3 using this model and the graphical 
+fit for Z3 is improved. However, the covariance matrix is not returned.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_7, echo=TRUE, fig.height=8>>=
+Z.mkin.1 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z2 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z3"),
+                    Z3 = mkinsub("SFORB"))
+m.Z.mkin.1 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.1, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.mkin.1)
+summary(m.Z.mkin.1, data = FALSE)$cov.unscaled
+@
+
+Therefore, a further stepwise model building is performed starting from the
+stage of parent and two metabolites, starting from the assumption that the model
+fit for the parent compound can be improved by using the SFORB model.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_9, echo=TRUE, fig.height=8>>=
+Z.mkin.3 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFORB", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z2 = mkinsub("SFO"))
+m.Z.mkin.3 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.3, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.mkin.3)
+@
+
+This results in a much better representation of the behaviour of the parent 
+compound Z0.
+
+Finally, Z3 is added as well. These models appear overparameterised (no
+covariance matrix returned) if the sink for Z1 is left in the models.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_10, echo=TRUE, fig.height=8>>=
+Z.mkin.4 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFORB", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z2 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z3"),
+                    Z3 = mkinsub("SFO"))
+m.Z.mkin.4 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.4, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, 
+                      parms.ini = m.Z.mkin.3$bparms.ode,
+                      quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.mkin.4)
+@
+
+The error level of the fit, but especially of metabolite Z3, can be improved if
+the SFORB model is chosen for this metabolite, as this model is capable of
+representing the tailing of the metabolite decline phase.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_11, echo=TRUE, fig.height=8>>=
+Z.mkin.5 <- mkinmod(Z0 = mkinsub("SFORB", "Z1", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z1 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z2", sink = FALSE),
+                    Z2 = mkinsub("SFO", "Z3"),
+                    Z3 = mkinsub("SFORB"))
+m.Z.mkin.5 <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.5, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, 
+                      parms.ini = m.Z.mkin.4$bparms.ode[1:4],
+                      quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.mkin.5)
+@
+
+The summary view of the backtransformed parameters shows that we get no
+confidence intervals due to overparameterisation. As the optimized
+\texttt{k\_Z3\_bound\_free} is excessively small, it seems reasonable to fix it to
+zero. 
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_11a, echo=TRUE>>=
+m.Z.mkin.5a <- mkinfit(Z.mkin.5, FOCUS_2006_Z_mkin, 
+                       parms.ini = c(m.Z.mkin.5$bparms.ode[1:7],
+                                     k_Z3_bound_free = 0),
+                       fixed_parms = "k_Z3_bound_free",
+                       quiet = TRUE)
+plot_sep(m.Z.mkin.5a)
+@
+
+As expected, the residual plots for Z0 and Z3 are more random than in the case of the 
+all SFO model for which they were shown above. In conclusion, the model
+\texttt{Z.mkin.5a} is proposed as the best-fit model for the dataset from
+Appendix 7 of the FOCUS report.
+
+A graphical representation of the confidence intervals can finally be obtained.
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_11b, echo=TRUE>>=
+mkinparplot(m.Z.mkin.5a)
+@
+
+The endpoints obtained with this model are
+
+<<FOCUS_2006_Z_fits_11b_endpoints, echo=TRUE>>=
+endpoints(m.Z.mkin.5a)
+@
+
+It is clear the degradation rate of Z3 towards the end of the experiment 
+is very low as DT50\_Z3\_b2 (the second Eigenvalue of the system of two differential 
+equations representing the SFORB system for Z3, corresponding to the slower rate
+constant of the DFOP model) is reported to be infinity.  However, this appears
+to be a feature of the data.
