An example is given below.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <th>state.ini</th> <td><p>A named vector of initial values for the state variables of the model. In case the observed variables are represented by more than one model variable, the names will differ from the names of the observed variables (see <code>map</code> component of <a href='mkinmod.html'>mkinmod</a>). The default is to set the initial value of the first model variable to the mean of the time zero values for the variable with the maximum observed value, and all others to 0.
