Since version 0.9.45.1 of the 'mkin' package, a function for calculating
time weighted average concentrations for decline kinetics (*i.e.* only
for the compound applied in the experiment) is included.

Time weighted average concentrations for the DFOP model are calculated using
the formulas given in the FOCUS kinetics guidance [@FOCUSkinetics2014, p. 251]:

SFO:

$$c_\textrm{twa} = c_0 \frac{\left( 1 - e^{- k t} \right)}{ k t} $$

FOMC:

$$c_\textrm{twa} = c_0 \frac{\beta}{t (1 - \alpha)} 
                   \left( \left(\frac{t}{\beta} + 1 \right)^{1 - \alpha} - 1 \right) $$

DFOP:

$$c_\textrm{twa} = \frac{c_0}{t} \left(
  \frac{g}{k_1} \left( 1 - e^{- k_1 t} \right) +
  \frac{1-g}{k_2} \left( 1 - e^{- k_2 t} \right)  \right) $$

Often, the ratio between the time weighted average concentration $c_\textrm{twa}$
and the initial concentration $c_0$ 

$$f_\textrm{twa} = \frac{c_\textrm{twa}}{c_0}$$

is needed. This can be calculated from the fitted initial concentration $c_0$ and
the time weighted average concentration $c_\textrm{twa}$, or directly from
the model parameters using the following formulas:

SFO:

$$f_\textrm{twa} = \frac{\left( 1 - e^{- k t} \right)}{k t} $$

FOMC:

$$f_\textrm{twa} = \frac{\beta}{t (1 - \alpha)} 
                   \left( \left(\frac{t}{\beta} + 1 \right)^{1 - \alpha} - 1 \right) $$

DFOP:

$$f_\textrm{twa} = \frac{1}{t} \left(
  \frac{g}{k_1} \left( 1 - e^{- k_1 t} \right) +
  \frac{1-g}{k_2} \left( 1 - e^{- k_2 t} \right)  \right) $$
