g = nroute*log_sigma_mu + 0.5*norm2(mu_r)/mfexp(2*log_sigma_mu);

g += nobs*log_sigma_y+0.5*norm2(y - Ey)/mfexp(2*log_sigma_y);


Thanks, Dave!  How embarrassing, given the emphasis on "ADMB does
minimization" throughout the docs.

Also it is better to handle the std dev parameterization differently.


Is it better to put std dev inside the norm like the following?
  0.5*norm2((y - Ey)/exp(log_sigma_y))

Thanks,
Ian
