[ADMB Users] mcpin

[Mollie Brooks]

Hi,
I have already found point estimates for the parameters of my model. Now I'm interested in doing mcmc sampling. 
Can I use the command line option -mcpin to start the mcmc sampling at the values stored in model.par without redoing the maximum likelihood estimation? The manual talks about using -mcpin with values from profiling, but I can't do profiling because I'm interested in the distribution of the variance parameters of random effects.

thanks,
Mollie
