<p>The next step is to set up the models used for the kinetic analysis. As the simultaneous fit of parent and the first metabolite is usually straightforward, Step 1 (SFO for parent only) is skipped here. We start with the model 2a, with formation and decline of metabolite Z1 and the pathway from parent directly to sink included (default in mkin).</p>

<p>As obvious from the parameter summary (the  component of the summary), the kinetic rate constant from parent compound Z to sink is very small and the t-test for this parameter suggests that it is not significantly different from zero. This suggests, in agreement with the analysis in the FOCUS kinetics report, to simplify the model by removing the pathway to sink.</p>
<p>A similar result can be obtained when formation fractions are used in the model formulation:</p>

<p>Here, the ilr transformed formation fraction fitted in the model takes a very large value, and the backtransformed formation fraction from parent Z to Z1 is practically unity. Here, the covariance matrix used for the calculation of confidence intervals is not returned as the model is overparameterised.</p>
<p>A simplified model is obtained by removing the pathway to the sink. </p>
<p>In the following, we use the parameterisation with formation fractions in order to be able to compare with the results in the FOCUS guidance, and as it makes it easier to use parameters obtained in a previous fit when adding a further metabolite.</p>

<p>As the FOCUS report states, there is a certain tailing of the time course of metabolite Z3. Also, the time course of the parent compound is not fitted very well using the SFO model, as residues at a certain low level remain.</p>
<p>Therefore, an additional model is offered here, using the single first-order reversible binding (SFORB) model for metabolite Z3. As expected, the <span class="math inline">\(\chi^2\)</span> error level is lower for metabolite Z3 using this model and the graphical fit for Z3 is improved.

<p>The error level of the fit, but especially of metabolite Z3, can be improved if the SFORB model is chosen for this metabolite, as this model is capable of representing the tailing of the metabolite decline phase.</p>

<p>The summary view of the backtransformed parameters shows that we get no confidence intervals due to overparameterisation. As the optimized  is excessively small, it seems reasonable to fix it to zero.</p>

<p>As expected, the residual plots for Z0 and Z3 are more random than in the case of the all SFO model for which they were shown above. In conclusion, the model  is proposed as the best-fit model for the dataset from Appendix 7 of the FOCUS report.</p>
<p>A graphical representation of the confidence intervals can finally be obtained.</p>

<p>It is clear the degradation rate of Z3 towards the end of the experiment is very low as DT50_Z3_b2 (the second Eigenvalue of the system of two differential equations representing the SFORB system for Z3, corresponding to the slower rate constant of the DFOP model) is reported to be infinity. However, this appears to be a feature of the data.</p>
