Add normally distributed errors to simulated kinetic degradation data
Source:R/add_err.R
add_err.Rd
Normally distributed errors are added to data predicted for a specific
degradation model using mkinpredict
. The variance of the error
may depend on the predicted value and is specified as a standard deviation.
Usage
add_err(
prediction,
sdfunc,
secondary = c("M1", "M2"),
n = 10,
LOD = 0.1,
reps = 2,
digits = 1,
seed = NA
)
Arguments
- prediction
A prediction from a kinetic model as produced by
mkinpredict
.- sdfunc
A function taking the predicted value as its only argument and returning a standard deviation that should be used for generating the random error terms for this value.
- secondary
The names of state variables that should have an initial value of zero
- n
The number of datasets to be generated.
- LOD
The limit of detection (LOD). Values that are below the LOD after adding the random error will be set to NA.
- reps
The number of replicates to be generated within the datasets.
- digits
The number of digits to which the values will be rounded.
- seed
The seed used for the generation of random numbers. If NA, the seed is not set.
Value
A list of datasets compatible with mmkin
, i.e. the
components of the list are datasets compatible with mkinfit
.

# We would like to inspect the fit for dataset 3 more closely

plot(f_SFO_SFO[[3]], show_residuals = TRUE)
# If we use single brackets, we should give two indices (model and dataset),
