+<p>In this document, the example evaluations provided in Attachment 1 to the SOP of US EPA for using the NAFTA guidance <span class="citation">(US EPA 2015)</span> are repeated using mkin. The original evaluations reported in the attachment were performed using PestDF in version 0.8.4. Note that PestDF 0.8.13 is the version distributed at the US EPA website today (2019-02-26).</p>
+<p>The datasets are now distributed with the mkin package.</p>

+<a href="#examples-where-dfop-did-not-converge-with-pestdf-0-8-4" class="anchor"></a>Examples where DFOP did not converge with PestDF 0.8.4</h1>
+<p>In attachment 1, it is reported that the DFOP model does not converge for these datasets when PestDF 0.8.4 was used. For all four datasets, the DFOP model can be fitted with mkin (see below). The negative half-life given by PestDF 0.8.4 for these fits appears to be the result of a bug. The results for the other two models (SFO and IORE) are the same.</p>

+<p>Here, mkin gives a longer slow DT50 for the DFOP model (17.8 days) than PestDF (13.5 days). Presumably, this is related to the fact that PestDF gives a negative value for the proportion of the fast degradation which should be between 0 and 1, inclusive. This parameter is called f in PestDF and g in mkin. In mkin, it is restricted to the interval from 0 to 1.</p>

+<p>Here, a value below N is given for the IORE model, because the data suggests a faster decline towards the end of the experiment, which appears physically rather unlikely in the case of a photolysis study. It seems PestDF does not constrain N to values above zero, thus the slight difference in IORE model parameters between PestDF and mkin.</p>

+<p>In PestDF, the DFOP fit seems to have stuck in a local minimum, as mkin finds a solution with a much lower <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level. As the half-life from the slower rate constant of the DFOP model is larger than the IORE derived half-life, the NAFTA recommendation obtained with mkin is to use the DFOP representative half-life of 8.9 days.</p>

+<div id="conclusions" class="section level1">
+<h1 class="hasAnchor">
+<a href="#conclusions" class="anchor"></a>Conclusions</h1>
+<p>The results obtained with mkin deviate from the results obtained with PestDF either in cases where one of the interpretive rules would apply, i.e. the IORE parameter N is less than one or the DFOP k values obtained with PestDF are equal to the SFO k values, or in cases where the DFOP model did not converge, which often lead to negative rate constants returned by PestDF.</p>
+<p>Therefore, mkin appears to suitable for kinetic evaluations according to the NAFTA guidance.</p>
