Many approaches are possible regarding the evaluation of chemical degradation
data.
-The now deprecated `kinfit` package [@pkg:kinfit] in `R` [@rcore2016]
-implements the approach recommended in the kinetics report provided by the
-FOrum for Co-ordination of pesticide fate models and their USe [@FOCUS2006;
--@FOCUSkinetics2014] for simple data series for one parent compound in one
-compartment.

-The `mkin` package [@pkg:mkin] extends this approach to data series with
-transformation products, commonly termed metabolites, and to more than one
-compartment. 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.
