Mathematically, the SFORB model is equivalent to the DFOP model used by other tools for biphasic metabolite curves. However, the SFORB model has the advantage that there is a mechanistic interpretation of the model parameters.</li> -<li>Nonlinear mixed-effects models can be created from fits of the same degradation model to different datasets for the same compound by using the <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/nlme.mmkin.html">nlme.mmkin</a> and <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/saem.mmkin.html">saem.mmkin</a> and methods. Note that the convergence of the nlme fits depends on the quality of the data. Convergence is better for simple models and data for many groups (e.g. soils). The saem method uses the <code>saemix</code> package as a backend. Analytical solutions suitable for use with this package have been implemented for parent only models and the most important models including one metabolite (SFO-SFO and DFOP-SFO). Fitting other models with <code>saem.mmkin</code>, while it makes use of the compiled ODE models that mkin provides, has longer run times (at least six minutes on my system).</li> +<li>Nonlinear mixed-effects models can be created from fits of the same degradation model to different datasets for the same compound by using the <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/nlme.mmkin.html">nlme.mmkin</a> and <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/reference/saem.html">saem.mmkin</a> and methods.
