[ADMB Users] making a pin file

[dave fournier]

the easiest way to make a pin file is to run the model with the command
line option

   -maxfn 0

and copy the output par file (*.p01) in this case to *.pin and edit it.

On another note your random effects will cause trouble
because cvec can be <0
  // compute vector of c values
    ▒
   cvec = c + sigma_c*(Z*u);
     ▒
   // power-Ricker

I think you want something like  exp(cvec)
or the admb function mfexp(cvec)  which is bounded above for very large
values to help avoid overflow.
             ▒
   prob =
1/(1/(elem_prod(mfexp(cvec),elem_prod(pow(size/d,g),exp(-size/d))))+h*init▒
                            ▒
