 <p>Many approaches are possible regarding the evaluation of chemical degradation data.</p>

It is also possible to include back reactions, so equilibrium reactions and equilibrium partitioning can be specified, although this oftentimes leads to an overparameterisation of the model.</p>

It is also possible to include back reactions, so equilibrium reactions and equilibrium partitioning can be specified, although this oftentimes leads to an overparameterisation of the model.</p>
 <p>When the first <code>mkin</code> code was published in 2010, the most commonly used tools for fitting more complex kinetic degradation models to experimental data were KinGUI <span class="citation">(Schäfer et al. 2007)</span>, a MATLAB based tool with a graphical user interface that was specifically tailored to the task and included some output as proposed by the FOCUS Kinetics Workgroup, and ModelMaker, a general purpose compartment based tool providing infrastructure for fitting dynamic simulation models based on differential equations to data.</p>
 <p>The code was first uploaded to the BerliOS platform. When this was taken down, the version control history was imported into the R-Forge site (see <em>e.g.</em> <a href="http://cgit.jrwb.de/mkin/commit/?id=30cbb4092f6d2d3beff5800603374a0d009ad770">the initial commit on 11 May 2010</a>), where the code is still occasionally updated.</p>
-<p>At that time, the R package <code>FME</code> (Flexible Modelling Environment) <span class="citation">(Soetaert and Petzoldt 2010)</span> was already available, and provided a good basis for developing a package specifically tailored to the task. The remaining challenge was to make it as easy as possible for the users (including the author of this vignette) to specify the system of differential equations and to include the output requested by the FOCUS guidance, such as the relative standard deviation that has to be assumed for the residuals, such that the <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> goodness-of-fit test as defined by the FOCUS kinetics workgroup would pass using an significance level <span class="math inline">\(\alpha\)</span> of 0.05.</p>
-<p>Also, <code>mkin</code> introduced using analytical solutions for parent only kinetics for improved optimization speed. Later, Eigenvalue based solutions were introduced to <code>mkin</code> for the case of linear differential equations (<em>i.e.</em> where the FOMC or DFOP models were not used for the parent compound), greatly improving the optimization speed for these cases.</p>

This, however, has become somehow obsolete, as the use of compiled code described below gives even smaller execution times.</p>
 <p>The possibility to specify back-reactions and a biphasic model (SFORB) for metabolites were present in <code>mkin</code> from the very beginning.</p>

 <a href="#derived-software-tools" class="anchor"></a>Derived software tools</h2>
 <p>Soon after the publication of <code>mkin</code>, two derived tools were published, namely KinGUII (available from Bayer Crop Science) and CAKE (commissioned to Tessella by Syngenta), which added a graphical user interface (GUI), and added fitting by iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) and characterisation of likely parameter distributions by Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling.</p>
-<p>CAKE focuses on a smooth use experience, sacrificing some flexibility in the model definition, originally allowing only two primary metabolites in parallel. The current version 3.2 of CAKE release in March 2016 uses a basic scheme for up to six metabolites in a flexible arrangement, but does not support back-reactions (non-instantaneous equilibria) or biphasic kinetics for metabolites.</p>

 <p>KinGUI offers an even more flexible widget for specifying complex kinetic models. Back-reactions (non-instanteneous equilibria) were supported early on, but until 2014, only simple first-order models could be specified for transformation products. Starting with KinGUII version 2.1, biphasic modelling of metabolites was also available in KinGUII.</p>
 <p>A further graphical user interface (GUI) that has recently been brought to a decent degree of maturity is the browser based GUI named <code>gmkin</code>. Please see its <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/gmkin">documentation page</a> and <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/gmkin/articles/gmkin_manual.html">manual</a> for further information.</p>
+<p>A comparison of scope, usability and numerical results obtained with these tools has been recently been published by <span class="citation">Ranke, Wöltjen, and Meinecke (2018)</span>.</p>

-<p>Currently (June 2016), the main features available in <code>mkin</code> which are not present in KinGUII or CAKE, are the speed increase by using compiled code when a compiler is present, parallel model fitting on multicore machines using the <code>mmkin</code> function, and the estimation of parameter confidence intervals based on transformed parameters. These are explained in more detail below.</p>

+<p>In addition, the possibility to use two alternative error models to constant variance have been integrated. The variance by variable error model introduced by <span class="citation">Gao et al. (2011)</span> has been available via an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) procedure since mkin <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/news/index.html#mkin-0-9-22-2013-10-26">version 0.9-22</a>. With <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/news/index.html#mkin-0-9-49-5-2019-07-04">release 0.9.49.5</a>, the IRLS algorithm has been replaced by direct or step-wise maximisation of the likelihood function, which makes it possible not only to fit the variance by variable error model but also a <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/sigma_twocomp.html">two-component error model</a> inspired by error models developed in analytical chemistry.</p>
