Asserting Sane Start Values for <code>TMB</code> Fit

internal

Mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM) are a popular
choice for analyzing longitudinal continuous outcomes in randomized
clinical trials and beyond; see Cnaan, Laird and Slasor (1997)
<doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19971030)16:20%3C2349::AID-SIM667%3E3.0.CO;2-E>
for a tutorial and Mallinckrodt, Lane, Schnell, Peng and Mancuso
(2008) <doi:10.1177/009286150804200402> for a review. This package
implements MMRM based on the marginal linear model without random
effects using Template Model Builder ('TMB') which enables fast and
robust model fitting. Users can specify a variety of covariance
matrices, weight observations, fit models with restricted or standard
maximum likelihood inference, perform hypothesis testing with
Satterthwaite or Kenward-Roger adjustment, and extract least square
means estimates by using 'emmeans'.
