This evaluation is taken from the example section of mkinfit. When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C compiler (gcc) is available, you will see a message that the model is being compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod.

+How to benefit from compiled models +

When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C compiler is available, you will see a message that the model is being compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod. Starting from version 0.9.49.9, the mkinmod() function checks for presence of a compiler using

+ +

In previous versions, it used Sys.which("gcc") for this check.

+

On Linux, you need to have the essential build tools like make and gcc or clang installed. On Debian based linux distributions, these will be pulled in by installing the build-essential package.

+

On MacOS, which I do not use personally, I have had reports that a compiler is available by default.

+

On Windows, you need to install Rtools and have the path to its bin directory in your PATH variable. You do not need to modify the PATH variable when installing Rtools. Instead, I would recommend to put the line

+
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste("C:/Rtools/bin", Sys.getenv("PATH"), sep=";"))
+

into your .Rprofile startup file. This is just a text file with some R code that is executed when your R session starts. It has to be named .Rprofile and has to be located in your home directory, which will generally be your Documents folder. You can check the location of the home directory used by R by issuing

+
Sys.getenv("HOME")
+

+Comparison with Eigenvalue based solutions

First, we build a simple degradation model for a parent compound with one metabolite.

+SFO_SFO <- mkinmod(
+  parent = mkinsub("SFO", "m1"),
+  m1 = mkinsub("SFO"))
## Successfully compiled differential equation model from auto-generated C code.

We can compare the performance of the Eigenvalue based solution against the compiled version and the R implementation of the differential equations using the benchmark package.

We can compare the performance of the Eigenvalue based solution against the compiled version and the R implementation of the differential equations using the benchmark package. In the output of below code, the warnings about zero being removed from the FOCUS D dataset are suppressed.
