Training Description

Template Model Builder (TMB) is a statistical computing platform that performs maximum likelihood inference and is easily extended to include random effects. Models are written in C++ and run with R using the TMB R package. This course will cover how to write a TMB model and call and run it from R.

Prerequisites: Attendees will need R and an R IDE installed on their local machine. The TMB R package (>1.8.0) also needs to be installed from CRAN. Please see Getting Started with TMB for software requirements and TMB package installation instructions. The TMB Developer Resources provide a collection of useful resources from the TMB developers.
