Hi, I am trying fit my kinetic data with the "mkin" package. There I have two questions:
1.) I would like to fix the parameter parent_0, the concentration of the parent at time 0. In the mkinfit function description it says you can do it with the arguments parms.ini and fixed_parms. In which form do these arguments have to be to fix the (internally defined and fitted) parameter parent_0? SFO <- mkinmod(parent=list(type="SFO")) SFO.fit <- mkinfit(SFO,data, parm.ini=??, fixed_parms=??) 2.) When I try to fit the parent and a metabolite m1, I get the error message: Error in dnorm(x, mean, sd, log) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function In addition: Warning messages: 1: In Ops.factor(ModVar, obsdat) : - not meaningful for factors 2: In Ops.factor(ModVar, obsdat) : - not meaningful for factors My code is: data <- read.table("101025_batch1.txt", header=TRUE) SFO_SFO <- mkinmod(parent = list(type = "SFO", to = "m1", sink =TRUE),m1 = list(type = "SFO")) SFO.fit <- mkinfit(SFO_SFO,data) 101025_batch1.txt looks like this: name time value parent 0 NA parent 15 NA parent 29 23.796 parent 44 14.499 parent 58 7.650 parent 73 4.170 parent 88 2.438 parent 102 1.865 parent 117 1.598 m1 0 0 m1 15 6.476 m1 29 19.651 m1 44 32.271 m1 58 40.906 m1 73 48.295 m1 88 53.295 m1 102 56.250 m1 117 58.459 Thank you very much for you help!
