# plk: Create 'plk' (Power Law Kinetics) object In episode: Estimation with Penalisation in Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations

## Description

This function creates an object of class plk (subclass of ode), which holds the basic information of the Power Law Kinetics system in question.

## Usage

 1 2 plk(A, s = solver(), r = NULL, rx0 = reg("none", lower = 0, upper = Inf, fixed = TRUE)) 

## Arguments

 A The matrix of powers (pxd). Here d the number of species. s solver object. r An object of class reg giving info about how to regularise and bound the rate parameters. If not provided, the default one is used. rx0 An object of class reg giving info about how to regularise and bound the initial state parameter. If not provided, the default one is used. This default reg sets fixed = TRUE, which is generally recommended.

## Details

Power Law Kinetics is a class of ODE systems, having the following vector field:

\frac{dx}{dt} = θ x^A

with x^A = (∏_{i=1}^dx_i^{A_{ji}})_{j=1}^p and θ an estimatable parameter matrix of dimension dxp. By convention theta will only be reported as a vector (concatinated column-wise).

## Value

An object with S3 class "plk" and "ode".

ode, numsolve, field
