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 build from the Beginner TMB course and focus on input/output features, such as parameter mapping and model diagnostics. It will also cover simulation and random effects.

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. Attendes should have a beginner level understanding of how to set up and run a TMB model. For a refresher, work through the tutorial on the TMB Wiki page.
