    fitted to the data, or one of the shorthand names ("SFO", "FOMC", "DFOP",
    "HS", "SFORB"). 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>The observed data. It has to be in the long format as described in
    <code>modFit</code>, i.e. 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. Optionally, a further column
    can contain weights for each data point. Its name must be passed as a
    further argument named <code>err</code> which is then passed on to
    <code>modFit</code>.</p></td>
    </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>
    <tr>
      <th>fixed_parms</th>
      <td><p>The names of parameters that should not be optimised but rather kept at the
    values specified in <code>parms.ini</code>.</p></td>

    for the first one.</p></td>

      <td><p>If this is set to TRUE, and the model has only one 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>

    <tr>
      <th>solution_type</th>
      <td><p>If set to "eigen", the solution of the system of 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 "eigen" if the model can be expressed using eigenvalues and
    eigenvectors, and finally "deSolve" for the remaining models (time
    dependence of degradation rates and metabolites). This argument is passed
    on to the helper function <code><a href='mkinpredict.html'>mkinpredict</a></code>.</p></td>

      <td><p>The optimisation method passed to <code>modFit</code>.</p>
<p>In order to optimally deal with problems where local minima occur, the
    "Port" algorithm is now used per default as it is less prone to get trapped
    in local minima and depends less on starting values for parameters than
    the Levenberg Marquardt variant selected by "Marq".  However, "Port" needs
    more iterations.</p>
<p>The former default "Marq" is the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm
    <code>nls.lm</code> from the package <code>minpack.lm</code> and usually needs
    the least number of iterations.</p>
<p>The "Pseudo" algorithm is not included because it needs finite parameter bounds
    which are currently not supported.</p>
<p>The "Newton" algorithm is not included because its number of iterations
    can not be controlled by <code>control.modFit</code> and it does not appear
    to provide advantages over the other algorithms.</p></td>

    as k1 and k2 rate constants for the DFOP and HS models and the break point

      <td><p>The method used for iteratively reweighting residuals, also known

    i.e. no iterative weighting.
    The first reweighting method is called "obs", meaning that each
    observed variable is assumed to have its own variance. This variance
    is estimated from the fit (mean squared residuals) and used for weighting
    the residuals in each iteration until convergence of this estimate up to
    <code>reweight.tol</code> or up to the maximum number of iterations
    specified by <code>reweight.max.iter</code>.
    The second reweighting method is called "tc" (two-component error model).
    When using this method, the two components of an error model similar to
    the one described by
    Rocke and Lorenzato (1995) are estimated from the fit and the resulting
    variances are used for weighting the residuals in each iteration until
    convergence of these components or up to the maximum number of iterations
    specified. Note that this method 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>

    <p>The implementation of iteratively reweighted least squares is inspired by the
  work of the KinGUII team at Bayer Crop Science (Walter Schmitt and Zhenglei
  Gao). A similar implemention can also be found in CAKE 2.0, which is the
  other GUI derivative of mkin, sponsored by Syngenta.</p>

    <p>When using the "IORE" submodel for metabolites, fitting with
  "transform_rates = TRUE" (the default) often leads to failures of the
  numerical ODE solver. In this situation it may help to switch off the
  internal rate transformation.</p>
