getLoadingNamespace

<p><code>nimbleFunction</code> constructs and evals a reference class definition.  When <code>nimbleFunction</code> is used in package source code, this can lead to problems finding things due to namespace issues.  Using <code>where = getLoadingNamespace()</code> in a <code>nimbleFunction</code> in package source code should solve this problem.</p>

A system for writing hierarchical statistical models largely
compatible with 'BUGS' and 'JAGS', writing nimbleFunctions to operate models and
do basic R-style math, and compiling both models and nimbleFunctions via custom-
generated C++. 'NIMBLE' includes default methods for MCMC, particle filtering,
Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization, and some other tools. The nimbleFunction
system makes it easy to do things like implement new MCMC samplers from R,
customize the assignment of samplers to different parts of a model from R, and
compile the new samplers automatically via C++ alongside the samplers 'NIMBLE'
provides. 'NIMBLE' extends the 'BUGS'/'JAGS' language by making it extensible:
New distributions and functions can be added, including as calls to external
compiled code. Although most people think of MCMC as the main goal of the
'BUGS'/'JAGS' language for writing models, one can use 'NIMBLE' for writing
arbitrary other kinds of model-generic algorithms as well. A full User Manual is
available at <https://r-nimble.org>.
