⚠️There's a newer version (1.9.11) of this package.Take me there.
TMB (version 1.7.15)
Template Model Builder: A General Random Effect Tool Inspired by
'ADMB'
Description
With this tool, a user should be able to quickly implement
complex random effect models through simple C++ templates. The package combines
'CppAD' (C++ automatic differentiation), 'Eigen' (templated matrix-vector
library) and 'CHOLMOD' (sparse matrix routines available from R) to obtain
an efficient implementation of the applied Laplace approximation with exact
derivatives. Key features are: Automatic sparseness detection, parallelism
through 'BLAS' and parallel user templates.
