      <th>mkinmod</th>
      <td><p>A list of class <code><a href='mkinmod.html'>mkinmod</a></code>, containing the kinetic
model to be fitted to the data, or one of the shorthand names ("SFO",
"FOMC", "DFOP", "HS", "SFORB", "IORE"). If a shorthand name is given, a
parent only degradation model is generated for the variable with the
highest value in <code>observed</code>.</p></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>observed</th>
      <td><p>A dataframe with the observed data.  The first column called
"name" must contain the name of the observed variable for each data point.
The second column must contain the times of observation, named "time".
The third column must be named "value" and contain the observed values.
Zero values in the "value" column will be removed, with a warning, in
order to avoid problems with fitting the two-component error model. This
is not expected to be a problem, because in general, values of zero are
not observed in degradation data, because there is a lower limit of
detection.</p></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>parms.ini</th>
      <td><p>A named vector of initial values for the parameters,
  including parameters to be optimised and potentially also fixed parameters
  as indicated by <code>fixed_parms</code>.  If set to "auto", initial values for
  rate constants are set to default values.  Using parameter names that are
  not in the model gives an error.</p>
<p>It is possible to only specify a subset of the parameters that the model
  needs. You can use the parameter lists "bparms.ode" from a previously
  fitted model, which contains the differential equation parameters from
  this model.  This works nicely if the models are nested. 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 <code><a href='mkinmod.html'>mkinmod</a></code>). 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.  If this variable has no time zero observations, its initial
value is set to 100.</p></td>

    <tr>
      <th>err.ini</th>
      <td><p>A named vector of initial values for the error model

must be given.</p></td>

observed variable, then data before the time of the maximum observed value
(after averaging for each sampling time) are discarded, and this time is
subtracted from all remaining time values, so the time of the maximum
observed mean value is the new time zero.</p></td>

differential equations is based on the spectral decomposition of the
coefficient matrix in cases that this is possible. If set to "deSolve", a
numerical ode solver from package <code>deSolve</code> is used. If set to
"analytical", an analytical solution of the model is used. This is only
implemented for simple degradation experiments with only one state
variable, i.e. with no metabolites. The default is "auto", which uses
"analytical" if possible, otherwise "deSolve" if a compiler is present,
and "eigen" if no compiler is present and the model can be expressed using
eigenvalues and eigenvectors.  This argument is passed on to the helper
function <code><a href='mkinpredict.html'>mkinpredict</a></code>.</p></td>

"lsoda" is performant, but sometimes fails to converge.</p></td>

be transformed in the model specification used in the fitting for better
compliance with the assumption of normal distribution of the estimator. If
TRUE, also alpha and beta parameters of the FOMC model are
log-transformed, as well as k1 and k2 rate constants for the DFOP and HS
models and the break point tb of the HS model.  If FALSE, zero is used as
a lower bound for the rates in the optimisation.</p></td>

      <th>transform_fractions</th>
      <td><p>Boolean specifying if formation fractions
constants should be transformed in the model specification used in the
fitting for better compliance with the assumption of normal distribution
of the estimator. The default (TRUE) is to do transformations. If TRUE,
the g parameter of the DFOP and HS models are also transformed, as they
can also be seen as compositional data. The transformation used for these
transformations is the <code><a href='ilr.html'>ilr</a></code> transformation.</p></td>

<p>If the error model is "obs", each observed variable is assumed to have its
  own variance.</p>
<p>If the error model is "tc" (two-component error model), a two component
  error model similar to the one described by Rocke and Lorenzato (1995) is
  used for setting up the likelihood function.  Note that this model
  deviates from the model by Rocke and Lorenzato, as their model implies
  that the errors follow a lognormal distribution for large values, not a
  normal distribution as assumed by this method.</p></td>

      <th>error_model_algorithm</th>
      <td><p>If "auto", the selected algorithm depends on
  the error model.  If the error model is "const", unweighted nonlinear
  least squares fitting ("OLS") is selected. If the error model is "obs", or
  "tc", the "d_3" algorithm is selected.</p>
<p>The algorithm "d_3" will directly minimize the negative log-likelihood and
  - independently - also use the three step algorithm described below. The
  fit with the higher likelihood is returned.</p>
<p>The algorithm "direct" will directly minimize the negative log-likelihood.</p>
<p>The algorithm "twostep" will minimize the negative log-likelihood after an
  initial unweighted least squares optimisation step.</p>
<p>The algorithm "threestep" starts with unweighted least squares, then
  optimizes only the error model using the degradation model parameters
  found, and then minimizes the negative log-likelihood with free
  degradation and error model parameters.</p>
<p>The algorithm "fourstep" starts with unweighted least squares, then
  optimizes only the error model using the degradation model parameters
  found, then optimizes the degradation model again with fixed error model
  parameters, and finally minimizes the negative log-likelihood with free
  degradation and error model parameters.</p>
<p>The algorithm "IRLS" (Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares) starts with
  unweighted least squares, and then iterates optimization of the error
  model parameters and subsequent optimization of the degradation model
  using those error model parameters, until the error model parameters
  converge.</p></td>

    <p>When using the "IORE" submodel for metabolites, fitting with
