The R package mkin provides calculation routines for the analysis of chemical degradation data, including multicompartment kinetics as needed for modelling the formation and decline of transformation products, or if several compartments are involved.

  • Highly flexible model specification using mkinmod, 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.
  • As of version 0.9-39, fitting of several models to several datasets, optionally in parallel, is supported, see for example plot.mmkin.
  • Model solution (forward modelling) in the function mkinpredict 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 deSolve package (default is lsoda).

  • By default, kinetic rate constants and kinetic formation fractions are transformed internally using transform_odeparms 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.
  • 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.
  • The usual one-sided t-test for significant difference from zero is nevertheless shown based on estimators for the untransformed parameters.
