  nafta_evaluation <- nafta(NAFTA_SOP_Appendix_D, cores = 1)
-#> The SFO model is rejected as S_SFO is equal or higher than the critical value S_c
-#> The representative half-life of the IORE model is longer than the one corresponding
-#> to the terminal degradation rate found with the DFOP model.
-#> The representative half-life obtained from the DFOP model may be used
