[ADMB Users] glmmADMB; offset

[H. Skaug]

Ben and Myles,

I looked into the details. Offset is in fact implemented (but
somewhat confusingly different versions of nbmm.tpl
are floating around). The (non-standard) syntax is:

nswoc$os = log(nswoc$stn)
fit=glmm.admb(y~yr,random=~1,group="route",data=nswoc,family="nbinom",offset="os")
