+#' Transform formation fractions as in the first published mkin version
+#'
+#' The transformed fractions can be restricted between 0 and 1 in model
+#' optimisations. Therefore this transformation was used originally in mkin. It
+#' was later replaced by the [ilr] transformation because the ilr transformed
+#' fractions can assumed to follow normal distribution. As the ilr
+#' transformation is not available in [RxODE] and can therefore not be used in
+#' the nlmixr modelling language, this transformation is currently used for
+#' translating mkin models with formation fractions to more than one target
+#' compartment for fitting with nlmixr in [nlmixr_model]. However,
+#' this implementation cannot be used there, as it is not accessible
+#' from RxODE.
+#'
+#' @param ff Vector of untransformed formation fractions. The sum
+#'   must be smaller or equal to one
+#' @param ff_trans
+#' @return A vector of the transformed formation fractions
