This functions sets up a nonlinear mixed effects model for an mmkin row object. An mmkin row object is essentially a list of mkinfit objects that have been obtained by fitting the same model to a list of datasets.

update(object, ...)Arguments
- model
An mmkin row object.
- data
Ignored, data are taken from the mmkin model
- fixed
Ignored, all degradation parameters fitted in the mmkin model are used as fixed parameters
- random
If not specified, no correlations between random effects are set up for the optimised degradation model parameters. This is achieved by using the nlme::pdDiag method.
- groups
See the documentation of nlme
- start
If not specified, mean values of the fitted degradation parameters taken from the mmkin object are used
- correlation
See the documentation of nlme

Value
Upon success, a fitted 'nlme.mmkin' object, which is an nlme object with additional elements. It also inherits from 'mixed.mmkin'.
Details
Note that the convergence of the nlme algorithms depends on the quality of the data. In degradation kinetics, we often only have few datasets (e.g. data for few soils) and complicated degradation models, which may make it impossible to obtain convergence with nlme.
Note
As the object inherits from nlme::nlme, there is a wealth of
methods that will automatically work on 'nlme.mmkin' objects, such as
nlme::intervals(), nlme::anova.lme() and nlme::coef.lme().
