How embarrassing, given the emphasis on "ADMB does minimization" throughout the docs.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; ">
Also it is better to handle the std dev parameterization differently.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Is it better to put std dev inside the norm like the following?</div><div> 0.5*norm2((y - Ey)/exp(log_sigma_y))</div>
