For the evaluation of pesticide degradation experiments, +detailed guidance and helpful tools have been developed as detailed in +'Credits and historical remarks' below.</p> + +<h2>Usage</h2> + +<p>For a start, have a look a the code examples provided for +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/plot.mkinfit.html"><code>plot.mkinfit</code></a> +and +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/plot.mmkin.html"><code>plot.mmkin</code></a>, and +at the package vignettes +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/vignettes/FOCUS_L.html"><code>FOCUS L</code></a> and +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/vignettes/FOCUS_D.html"><code>FOCUS D</code></a>.</p> + +<h2>Documentation</h2> + +<p>The <a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static">HTML documentation</a> is +maintained at the R-Forge project site.</p> + +<h2>Features</h2> + +<ul> +<li>Highly flexible model specification using +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/mkinmod.html"><code>mkinmod</code></a>, +including equilibrium reactions and using the single first-order +reversible binding (SFORB) model, which will automatically create +two latent state variables for the observed variable.</li> +<li>As of version 0.9-39, fitting of several models to several datasets, optionally in +parallel, is supported, see for example +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/plot.mmkin.html"><code>plot.mmkin</code></a>.</li> +<li>Model solution (forward modelling) in the function +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/mkinpredict.html"><code>mkinpredict</code></a> +is performed either using the analytical solution for the case of +parent only degradation, an eigenvalue based solution if only simple +first-order (SFO) or SFORB kinetics are used in the model, or +using a numeric solver from the <code>deSolve</code> package (default is <code>lsoda</code>).</li> +<li>If a C compiler is installed, the kinetic models are compiled from automatically +generated C code, see<br/> +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/vignettes/compiled_models.html">vignette <code>compiled_models</code></a>. +The autogeneration of C code was +inspired by the <a href="https://github.com/karlines/ccSolve"><code>ccSolve</code></a> package. Thanks +to Karline Soetaert for her work on that.</li> +<li>By default, kinetic rate constants and kinetic formation fractions are +transformed internally using +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/mkin_static/transform_odeparms.html"><code>transform_odeparms</code></a> +so their estimators can more reasonably be expected to follow +a normal distribution. This has the side effect that no constraints +are needed in the optimisation. Thanks to RenĂ© Lehmann for the nice +cooperation on this, especially the isometric logration transformation +that is now used for the formation fractions.</li> +<li>A side effect of this is that when parameter estimates are backtransformed +to match the model definition, confidence intervals calculated from +standard errors are also backtransformed to the correct scale, and will +not include meaningless values like negative rate constants or +formation fractions adding up to more than 1, which can not occur in +a single experiment with a single defined radiolabel position.</li> +<li>The usual one-sided t-test for significant difference from zero is nevertheless +shown based on estimators for the untransformed parameters.</li> +<li>Summary and plotting functions. The <code>summary</code> of an <code>mkinfit</code> object is in +fact a full report that should give enough information to be able to +approximately reproduce the fit with other tools.</li> +<li>The chi-squared error level as defined in the FOCUS kinetics guidance +(see below) is calculated for each observed variable.</li> +<li>Iteratively reweighted least squares fitting is implemented in a similar way +as in KinGUII and CAKE (see below). Simply add the argument +<code>reweight = "obs"</code> to your call to <code>mkinfit</code> and a separate variance +componenent for each of the observed variables will be optimised +in a second stage after the primary optimisation algorithm has converged.</li> +<li>When a metabolite decline phase is not described well by SFO kinetics, +SFORB kinetics can be used for the metabolite.</li> +</ul> + +<h2>GUI</h2> + +<p>There is a graphical user interface that I consider useful for real work. Please +refer to its <a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/gmkin_static">documentation page</a> +for installation instructions and a manual.</p> + +<h2>News</h2> + +<p>Yes, there is a ChangeLog, for the latest <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mkin/news.html">CRAN release</a> +and one for the <a href="https://github.com/jranke/mkin/blob/master/NEWS.md">github master branch</a>.</p> + +<h2>Credits and historical remarks</h2> + +<p><code>mkin</code> would not be possible without the underlying software stack consisting +of R and the packages <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/package=deSolve">deSolve</a> +and <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/package=FME">FME</a>, to say the least.</p> + +<p>It could not have been written without me being introduced to regulatory fate +modelling of pesticides by Adrian Gurney during my time at Harlan Laboratories +Ltd (formerly RCC Ltd). <code>mkin</code> greatly profits from and largely follows +the work done by the +<a href="http://focus.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dk">FOCUS Degradation Kinetics Workgroup</a>, +as detailed in their guidance document from 2006, slightly updated in 2011 and +2014.</p> + +<p>Also, it was inspired by the first version of KinGUI developed by +BayerCropScience, which is based on the MatLab runtime environment.</p> + +<p>The companion package +<a href="http://kinfit.r-forge.r-project.org/kinfit_static/index.html">kinfit</a> (now deprecated) was +<a href="https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php?view=rev&root=kinfit&revision=2">started in 2008</a> and +<a href="http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/kinfit/">first published</a> on +CRAN on 01 May 2010.</p> + +<p>The first <code>mkin</code> code was +<a href="https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php?view=rev&root=kinfit&revision=8">published on 11 May 2010</a> and the +<a href="http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mkin">first CRAN version</a> +on 18 May 2010.</p> + +<p>In 2011, Bayer Crop Science started to distribute an R based successor to KinGUI named +KinGUII whose R code is based on <code>mkin</code>, but which added, amongst other +refinements, a closed source graphical user interface (GUI), iteratively +reweighted least squares (IRLS) optimisation of the variance for each of the +observed variables, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation +functionality, similar to what is available e.g. in the <code>FME</code> package.</p> + +<p>Somewhat in parallel, Syngenta has sponsored the development of an <code>mkin</code> and +KinGUII based GUI application called CAKE, which also adds IRLS and MCMC, is +more limited in the model formulation, but puts more weight on usability. +CAKE is available for download from the <a href="http://projects.tessella.com/cake">CAKE +website</a>, where you can also +find a zip archive of the R scripts derived from <code>mkin</code>, published under the GPL +license.</p> + +<p>Finally, there is +<a href="http://github.com/zhenglei-gao/KineticEval">KineticEval</a>, which contains +a further development of the scripts used for KinGUII, so the different tools +will hopefully be able to learn from each other in the future as well.</p> + +<h2>Development</h2> + +<p>Contributions are welcome!
